Is Your Veterinary Clinic Prepared for Climate Change Catastrophes?
Each week it seems we learn of another natural disaster related to, caused, or worsened by climate change: wildfires, hurricanes, heat waves, mudslides, drought, flood - you name it. And these disasters affect veterinary professionals and pet parents around the world.
Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Beckie Mossor, RVT discuss how veterinary clinics can prepare for disasters and interruptions caused by a variety of emergency situations. They also explore veterinary professionals' responsibilities to our communities and how we can help ease anxiety in our clients should an emergency occur.
The pair also offer advice on training for other emergencies such as robberies, workplace violence, and clients in peril.
Viewfinders, this is another example of how a little preparation can go a long way in helping others.
