Update: Disaster response personnel have been authorized to start ground operations in Los Angeles
After hearing from advocates like you, the City of Los Angeles has formally authorized animal disaster response teams to help with evacuations and search-and-rescue efforts for animals left behind in areas affected by fires. đđđ At the request of disaster response personnel, the city has also set up a designated hotline to report animals in need of search and rescue. Thanks to everyone who took action on this issue!
Original post:
We hope you and your animals are safe in Los Angeles! â¤ď¸ The Palisades fire has been raging for a week, and many folks have evacuatedâbut many animals are still trapped in those burn zones without food, water, or medical care. Waiting rescue teams havenât been able to reach them, and formal appeals to the city have gone unanswered. đ° Itâs a life-or-death situation for these animalsâthey need our help ASAP.
Please urge Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to immediately authorize approved animal disaster response teams to help with evacuations and search-and-rescue efforts for animals left behind in these areas. đ¨
