From Humane Society International:

BREAKING: Updated 10:06 a.m. EDT, 28 April — Our animal rescue team in India is deploying to Kathmandu, Nepal to provide emergency animal welfare aid following the devastating earthquake. We have prepared emergency veterinary medicines, vaccinations, surgical equipment and other supplies, so we can assist local animal welfare groups in the affected areas. We’re ready to help.

 

A massive earthquake of 7.9 magnitude hit large parts of Nepal today, causing widespread damage. HSI’s Animal Rescue Team is safe and ready to deploy in response to the earthquake, in support of local agencies or animal welfare groups in the strike zone.

We understand the human dimensions of the catastrophe, now the focus of media coverage, but we expect to learn more about animal-related needs and challenges in the hours and days ahead, and we’ll be ready to help.

As specific needs emerge, we’ll work to provide temporary shelter for animals in need; to rent and outfit animal sheltering facilities and rescue vehicles; to help reunite lost animals with their families; and to aid local shelters and other animal protection facilities in disaster-affected regions.
