What is EAS Training?
Emergency Animal Sheltering is intended to prepare volunteers to serve
at emergency shelters for pets and animals evacuated or displaced from
their homes because of a disaster. Types of shelters covered include
pet-friendly shelters (people with their pets), alternate animal shelters
(for the pets of displaced people), and evacuated animal shelters (where
an existing animal shelter must be moved). The skills learned are also
useful in dealing with any large-scale animal sheltering operation, regardless
of why needed.
The class includes one day of classroom instruction and demonstrations,
a tabletop exercise, and a half-day hands-on emergency sheltering scenario.
Topics include intro to disasters & emergency management, community planning, types of emergency
shelters for animals, meeting animals’ needs, logistics, human resources,
worker health & safety, administrative issues including use of forms,
legal issues, media/public relations, and closing the shelter.
