In its mission of ensuring animal safety and well-being during disasters, FEMA is supported team members from the NRF’s Emergency Support Functions #6, #8, and #11 and the Mass Evacuation Incident Annex. Overall support comes from the USDA APHIS Animal Care program, while the National Veterinary Response Teams (NVRT) of the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) (described further in KPF 6, Augment Provision of Health and Medical Services to Affected Population) and the Veterinary Medical Assistance Teams (VMAT) of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) can deploy to sites to provide emergency veterinary expertise and care.
