Emergency preparedness is a year-round effort, for our community and for DACC.
Our teams regularly train and prepare for emergencies, including helicopter operations, large animal evacuations and coordinated disaster response. All seven of our Animal Care Centers also have evacuation plans in place should an emergency threaten a facility.
 
But preparedness starts before an emergency happens. 
 
Swipe to the end for practical tips on preparing your pets and livestock, building a pet go-bag, and finding emergency resources in your community. Taking a few steps now can make a big difference when every minute counts.
