Disaster Preparedness Workbook 1

This workbook is the first in a series of preparedness modules that will aid rehabilitators in creating their own disaster and emergency plan. The series will address both preparing a rehabilitator for a disaster on site and response to a regional disaster where the rehabilitator’s skills are needed.

The primary functions of this first workbook are to help you:

• Gather your important contact information and information about your facility.

• Prepare necessary maps of your facility.

• Address emergency equipment and on-site hazards.

• Identify permanent and transitory animal populations.

• Comply with regulations requiring an emergency plan
