notes: ================================= CNN News Update http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/asiapcf/03/17/japan.animal.rescue/ Please note: World Vets has a whole series of relief teams lined up and on standby pending the outcome of our first responder deployment. As long as radiation and nuclear threats remain we must consider the safety of volunteers and not contribute to potential victims of this unfortunate situation. At this time World Vets is not recruiting volunteers for its disaster response efforts in Japan. Should this change for follow up assistance in the long term we will select volunteers from our members database. ================================= UPDATE 2:05 (MARCH 17) World Vets currently has 2 people in Japan. Dr Koji Fukomura is in Tokyo and Adrien Zap is in the field north of Niigata. Adrien is working with Animal Friends Niigata and they are close to the hardest hit areas right now. We are also coordinating pallet-load shipments of supplies to aid local animal welfare groups in Japan.

Our work spans 25 countries and 6 continents and addresses not only veterinary issues, but also human health issues impacted by zoonotic diseases in developing countries.
