Introduction

Many people want to help animals during evacuation periods and after natural disasters, and the SPCA provides advice to private citizens who want to do so and offers grants to organizations that provide disaster relief for animals, carefully choosing groups that can do the most good with this money. One way in which SPCA supporters are encouraged to help during a disaster is to foster animals that belong to those who have had to evacuate or to take in animals that have wandered out of the evacuation area. By taking care of someone else's animals for the duration of the disaster, individuals can ensure that the animals are not swept away by floods, hurricanes, or other catastrophes.
