The President and CEO of HSUS, Wayne Pacelle, is leading a team of marine biologists, wildlife experts and veterinarians, along with Senator Vitter of Louisiana, in a multi-state field assessment of the impact of the oil spill on animals and birds. In response to the increased relinquishment of dogs since the oil spill, HSUS coordinated the donation of 12.5 tons of pet food to Plaquemines Animal Welfare Society, a no-kill shelter, and St. Bernard parishes for distribution to their residents. As part of their assessment the group visited an established bird care center in Plaquemines Parish and saw hundreds of birds in various stages of oil contamination treatment. The need for additional resources was noted. A similar situation involving turtles was witnessed at the Audubon Nature Institute, where approximately 50 turtles, mostly juvenile endangered Kemp’s ridley turtles, were being treated and rehabilitated. HSUS will continue their assessment of field and marine life along the Gulf Coast and plan for the long-term effects of the spill. ======== http://www.humanesociety.org/news/press_releases/2010/06/hsus_gulf_oil_assessment_061410.html June 14, 2010 The HSUS Releases Preliminary Assessment of BP Oil Spill at Press Conference in La.

The HSUS Disaster Services staff have information to help you plan for the needs of your pets, horses, and livestock before, during, and after any disaster, whether natural or man-made ---------- Course Descriptions: Disaster Animal Response Training (DART): The three-day course (22 + hours of training) covers these key topics: introduction to animals in disaster and preparedness; Incident Command System; legal issues; communications; and teamwork. Other major topics covered include: community animal needs/damage assessment; team response and procedures; animal care and handling; emergency animal shelters; equipment; and responder health and safety, including stress management. Table-top exercises and (optional) mock disaster simulation will give students the chance to use and combine the skills learned during the training, including implementing ICS; communications; equipment; damage assessment; establishing an incident command post, setting up an Emergency Animal Shelter; responding to rescue requests, dealing with the media, and taking care of the team. Emergency Animal Sheltering (EAS): The two-day course (12 + hours) offers hands-on learning about the methods for sheltering animals affected by disaster. Includes key topics as outlined for DART. Includes table-top exercises and (optional) mock shelter simulation so students can practice what they have learned through setting up an emergency animal shelter; selecting a location for an Emergency Animal Shelter; implementation of ICS; basic setup of shelter areas; needs of various animals; logistics; health and safety and stress management; and teamwork. ----------------- FOR Regional Offices and the areas they serve: http://www.hsus.org/about_us/regional_offices/ ----------------- Programs & Services HSUS's Rural Area Veterinary Services (RAVS) http://www.ruralareavet.org/ The success of our program depends on the generosity of volunteers and donors who support this important work.
