Emergency Support Function-17 (ESF-17)
ESF 17 provides for the coordination of local resources in response to small pet, livestock, and exotic animal care needs before, during, and following a significant disaster incident.
Local shelters and agencies should first contact their local county emergency management ESF-17 representative for assistance (phone or email). Provide as much detail in the request – current situation, reason for need, what has been done, and specific resources needed, for example. The request will be evaluated to determine if other local resources or groups are able to assist. If the request cannot be filled at the local level, the county will submit the request via WEBEOC to the state ESF-17 network.
