 Emergancy Care for Animals in the Regions Affected by Hurricane Emily
by
First, we realize it's been a while since our last update, and we have one in the works. However the probability of a force 4-5 hurricane in the region has trumped any and all other concerns for the moment. As well, if you have received multiple copies of this missive, or are receiving it after requesting to be dropped from the list, please accept our apology. We are attempting to expedite this matter given the urgency of those whom it most concerns making evacuation plans or other emergency actions, and we have sent it to the list en masse without redacting as we might normally do....
We realize that the first and foremost consideration is for human life - as one with loved ones and many strong interests in the area, I have profound concern regarding the protection of lives and property. However, those of us who have made our missions in the Animal Welfare community of the region understand very well the suffering of the animals under the best of circumstances. Please, for those who may be so inclined, don't misunderstand our intentions when we post information about how the animals can best be helped and accommodated during a time of severe need.
We have assembled a list of protocol and information - including both pre-emptive actions and emergency care, which we have distributed on the boards to facilitate the protection and recovery for animals in the area. We will ask for you to help us distribute this information by email to anyone you may know in the region for whom this may be useful.
For those evacuating and seeking emergency accommodations that accept pets, we would encourage you to consider Genesis Eco Oasis, in the pueblito of Ek Balam - about 25 minutes from Valladolid.
Please review the following information posted on the NACER website:

For non-domesticated dogs and cats:

Our prayers go with our friends and loved ones - we hope this information is not needed. If it should be, we hope it will be helpful.
