In the event of a disaster, Sonoma County Animal Services, Sonoma County Department of Emergency Management, and Sonoma County Animal Response Team (Sonoma CART) will activate large and small animal shelters. In an emergency, a hotline will be established (check website). Shelter locations are specific to each disaster and the public will be notified in real time via social media and local news outlets. If your pets are left behind, contact Sonoma County Animal Services. You may also call in a welfare check on animals. Field teams can drive to your house and put out fresh food and water for animals. Animal reunification services are also available. Visit website for details.
