In the event of a local large-scale disaster that would require residents to evacuate from their homes, Woods Humane Society, as a lead agency in VOAD (Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster) will work closely with County Animal Services to care for the needs of small animals* in our county. If necessary, WHS, in collaboration with the American Red Cross, will open a temporary animal evacuation site. Woods’ staff and volunteers will ensure that each animal is properly identified, and provide care and feeding until it is safe to return home.
