Study Notes

Spinal Injury

Spinal injury is a potentially serious emergency for animals.
Spinal injuries can have long-term effects on both the animal and the environment.

Disaster Preparedness

Disaster preparedness is the knowledge and capacities developed by governments to manage adverse events such as natural disasters.
Disaster preparedness includes:
- Wise land management
- Environmental protection
- Improved preparedness for climate change and climate risk reduction

Emergency Response

Emergency response includes:
- Head tilt/chin lift maneuver for animals without head injuries
- Application of oxygen via mask or bag-valve mask device.
