Animal Response Plan Tool Kit (pdf) — This guide, developed by the Animal Health Emergency Technical Advisory Committee, provides local jurisdictions information and tools that will assist them in developing local/county Animal Response Plans for use in the response to emergencies and disasters. In addition, it supports the continuity of vital agriculture operations; and promotes responsible animal care, the continued companionship of household pets, and the reduction of the incidence of harmful interactions between humans and non-domestic animals in the event of a disaster.
