The DANR Guide to Disaster Preparedness
an expanded second edition

Effective, well-rehearsed strategies for pet and livestock safety must be in place before a disaster occurs.

The DANR Guide to Disaster Preparedness provides useful information about disaster preparedness resources and training.

Intended as an overview of community animal care needs during a disaster, the new second edition of the guide covers many types of preparedness and response activities in which individuals and groups can become involved at the local level.

The complete 90-page DANR Guide to Disaster Preparedness is provided as an Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) file, which preserves the original document formatting and can be read and printed using Acrobat Reader.
