  1. Animal Emergency Working Group Brainstorming to GeoMapping

  2. The Matrix

  3. All Hazards. All Animals. • Questions we had starting out: • What could happen with animals? • What is our capability for animals in an event? • Who knows, by region and type, what capabilities we have? • How do we put it all together?

  4. Brainstorming! There’s no bad ideas when you’re brain storming! • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82xwrCIpGpo

  5. Scenarios to GeoMapping • Taking the animals out of the human incidents • Adaptable layers for training • Easily updated & integrated • Defining capabilities for each level of response • National inventory of capability based on levels

  6. Lay it out... Any major incident in Canada will impact animals – livestock, research, zoo or companion – in some fashion or another. This impact is added to the already existing human factor. How can we, to support our response community, create tools to aid in meeting the needs of those impacted?”

  7. GeoMapping • In almost all situations where humans are impacted by an incident, animals will be impacted as well. • We have many of the response tools we need but we don’t know where they are or who has the expertise to utilize them, or for what duration • With livestock density mapping and additional resource and specific population layers within Google Earth we can determine the true overlap and gauge the potential cross over for animal populations with human interface emergencies • Viewing Google Earth Map now… 

  8. Animal Populations & People Populations • Everywhere you have people you have animals • ‘Sub-urban’ livestock populations are vulnerable to urban incidents • Transportation is a hugely vulnerable area for incidents and response • Resources and training are available but need to be more available • Capability cannot be measured without an inventory • Where you have animals, you have people • 50% of Canadians own a cat and a dog • Of that 50%, 75% would not leave their animal behind • Of the 2% of Canadians who farm, almost 100% of them would not leave their animals behind • Research, zoo and specialty populations require specialized responses

  9. The right tool for the right job! All Hazards! All Animals! Measured Capability!

  10. Resources We Are Building… National Inventory of Capability National Contacts & Working Group Members International Contacts & Information Sharing Additional Geo Mapping Layers Veterinary, Holding Area, Specific Populations Trained Teams, Response Units Specific Hazards Regional and national capabilities • Shanyn Silinski – Coordinator • ssilinski@xplornet.com • http://home.cc.umanitoba.ca/~greenc/animal/index5.htm

  11. We are not animal rescuers… …but we are there to help!
