Two-way radio communication between the animal shelter and human shelter helps both desks prepare for arrivals. Pet shelter staff are also able to contact owners about issues with their animals. Questions? Consult “Emergency Animal Sheltering: The Marion County, Florida, Pet-Friendly Shelter’s Radio Communications between Registration Desks” referenced in their handouts . The intake information should be attached to the animal’s crate with a cage card. Emphasize importance of Incident Command System training for staff and volunteers. Remember that some supplies may have a shelf life! Remind attendees that determining type of equipment and amount is critical. If planning to shelter 100 animals for 3 days, how much litter, cleaning supplies, and other items will be needed? Remind attendees to coordinate with the facility owner to identify if any equipment on the premises are available for use by shelter personnel. Frequently, shelter staff will not be able to use any facility resources other than floor space. Suggest a trailer be used to store shelter supplies. Suggest attendees see the resources section in their handouts for links to information about how trailers are managed and funded.
