With a network of regional offices and a nationwide response team, The Humane Society of the United States can provide shelter professionals and other local authorities with the expertise, leadership, and other tools necessary to coordinate animal response activities during a disaster.

In addition, we have collected and developed materials to help you plan for the survival of animals in your care and assist with the larger community disaster relief effort. These resources are divided here into four categories: Guidelines; Sample Plans; Training and Publications; and More Resources. Please click on the images below or scroll down to navigate.

Have an emergency response plan you'd like to share with your colleagues? Please email it to info@animalsheltering.org.
