This hurricane season is going to be especially challenging in light of the impact COVID-19 is having on our communities. The pandemic will challenge jurisdictions’ ability to staff and safely operate an emergency animal shelter for evacuees’ pets and rescued animals.
This webinar was created by the National Animal Rescue and Sheltering Coalition’s (NARSC) COVID-19 Sheltering Committee, and will teach you about the pandemic’s impact on sheltering (and how to plan for and solve these challenges), how to adapt your shelter layout to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, and considerations for creating COVID-19 safe shelter protocols.
Participants will also learn about free shelter consulting offered by NARSC personnel, including planning assistance and live remote help during your operations.
This webinar has been pre-approved for:
- 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit
- 1 NACA CE
- 1 CE towards ACO CE requirements per Ch. 829 of the Texas Health and Safety Code by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)
