The Rise of Animal Emergency Management in Australia
摘要
Australia frequently faces disasters such as bushfires, floods, and cyclones, which impact both people and animals and affect community resilience. Animal Emergency Management (AEM) adopts an all-hazards, all-species approach within a One Welfare framework. This chapter provides an overview of AEM in Australia, exploring its integration with Emergency Management (EM) across all comprehensive phases, with a particular focus on veterinary aspects. It examines the unique challenges faced by remote Indigenous communities and discusses the role of Veterinary Social Work in disaster situations.
