City of Paradise & NVADG Functional Exercise

CVET was invited by the North Valley Animal Disaster Group (NVADG) in Butte County to participate in a functional exercise hosted by the City of Paradise. The City of Paradise was awarded a grant to host a multi-agency functional exercise for a simulated fire in Magalia, California. As part of the disaster response operations for Butte County, NVADG participated in the exercise with the set up of an emergency small animal shelter and invited CVET to join in providing requested veterinary care. CVET members were able to work with NVADG volunteers in the intake, sheltering, and care of evacuated animals, further defining our coordination and preparedness efforts for future events.
