Pet Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act Implementation
(Approved by the AVMA Executive Board April 2008; oversight: Committee on Disaster and Emergency Issues)
 

The AVMA urges the appropriate Federal agencies (DHS and FEMA) and Congress to revisit the National Response Framework, the Pet Evacuation and Transportation Standards (PETS) Act of 2006, and the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act (PKEMRA), in order to ensure comprehensive coordination of command and control for implementation of the PETS Act of 2006. This is necessary to resolve significant gaps for effective implementation at all levels of government.
