Chico volunteer group holds annual training to educate people on animal handling during emergencies ...Middle East

Each volunteer must be vetted. "Taking care of animals during a disaster is not like taking care of your cat and dog at home," Leyden said. Volunteers will learn how to work in animal shelters, how the emergency response network works, critical incident stress management while talking on the hotline, and how to properly care for animals in an emergency environment. "When an incident starts, we place 63 people, and of those, only ten have to do with going behind the fire lines," Leyden said. "The others are taking care of the animals. For every ten dogs we have, we need two people, and it's not unusual to have 150 to 160 dogs." 

After volunteers complete the initial training, they'll be able to attend more in-depth monthly trainings until July to specialize in deeper skills. "Being an NVADG volunteer is the honor of my life. There is nothing that I've done that means more to me," Leyden said. "If I have a tombstone, it's going to say, 'She was a NVDAG volunteer.' "Needles said the organization has 12 animal search and rescue members assisting with the fires down in Southern California.
