Prince George's County Animal Shelter Participated in a Mock Disaster Exercise, Along with County Police, Fire, Homeland Security, Social Services, and The Red Cross


Last Friday, the Prince George's Animal Management Division staff and volunteers participated in a mock Disaster Exercise, along with County Police, Fire, Homeland Security, Social Services, Red Cross and other entities in a simulation of a flood occurring in two areas of the County.

Two human shelters were set up at Dr. Henry A. Wise, Jr. High School, along with two Animal Shelters to house their furry loved ones. What an incredible way to prepare for the unthinkable!





We can't forget those who worked in the field during the mock disaster exercise, standing by to retrieve (stuffed) animals from those victims boarding the busses to head to the shelter at Dr. Henry A. Wise, Jr. High School. Shown below are Cate, Ebonie and Victoria and on the right is Simone, who did intake on the animals brought to the temporary shelters.
