COORDINATION WITH EMERGENCY HOUSEHOLD PET SHELTERINGIn an evacuation and sheltering situation, evacuees often do not want to be separated from their pets. The management of household pets will be in accordance with the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act of 2006. Pet sheltering may take place on site or at an off-site location depending on available space, logistics, and the location of resources for supporting household pet sheltering. It is recommended to provide household pet sheltering off-site, but at an adjacent or nearby location. Only service animals may remain with their owners. The [Jurisdiction’s agency responsible for household pet sheltering] will set up an Emergency Household Pet Shelter (Pet Shelter) on site, adjacent to, or within close proximity to the Non-Traditional Shelter.

This may include representatives from local, State, and Federal government, NGOs, and the private sector. General
216.The Recovery Supervisor will: Receive input from multiple agencies/organizations as soon as possible to determine a recovery transition plan with reference to any other applicable plans, procedures, or processes.
