It is the
responsibility of the Nevada Department of Agriculture to develop and
maintain a roster of personnel to staff ESF 14 when activated by the
Governor.
The Nevada Department of Agriculture, Division of Animal Industry will work
with counties to secure the availability of the following resources as
needed for a disaster area:
- An up-to-date list of animal shelters and confinement areas that can be used
in case of emergency to temporarily house displaced animals; and
- A list of food, water and medical supply donors that can be contacted to
supply needed items upon request.
The State ESF 14 is implemented only at the request of the Governor.
For ESF 14 to work smoothly and efficiently it must work through the
County's Designated Animal Issues Coordinator, to assist local animal
control agencies, humane organizations, livestock or farming organizations,
or other animal industry representatives.
