Advance Equine Disaster Response

The California Veterinary Emergency Team (CVET) is launching a statewide study to better understand how emergency evacuation sheltering affects horse health and well-being. During this webinar, attendees will learn about the study's objectives, methodology, and how counties can participate during future emergency shelter activations. Findings will help guide evidence-based improvements to equine evacuation sheltering, supporting better outcomes for horses, responders, and communities during disasters.
