HALTER Project does not provide animal rescue services during disasters.
We are an Animal Emergency and Disaster Preparedness education resource, serving all responders and caregivers of pets, equines and livestock. 🐴
We connect with a global audience of animal owners, caregivers, community organizations and first responders to reduce risks to humans and their animals on emergencies and natural disasters. 🌐
Our vision is to see whole communities collaborating to keep animals and people safer and together during and after natural disasters.

What We Do:
‍
💪 Strengthen animal disaster preparedness by providing free education and outreach resources to individuals, organizations, agencies, and their community partners.
💡Inspire animal owners and their communities to be prepared for emergencies and natural disasters.
📓Provide free animal disaster safety and preparedness information and education tools for the whole community, including those with access and functional needs, non-English speakers, and tourists.

🚗🔥 Driving Tips During a Wildfire Evacuation

When it’s time to go, your car is your safest refuge—if you know how to use it right:

✅ Lights on — keep your headlights on
✅ Buckle up — seatbelts save lives
✅ Carpool smart — fill every seat, help neighbors (especially elderly or disabled)
✅ Stay calm — drive slowly, don’t pass in low visibility, don’t panic in traffic
✅ Air on inside — keep windows up, AC & recirculation on
✅ Stay informed — tune in to local news radio
✅ Stick to pavement — fire roads are for firefighters, not evacuation routes
✅ Avoid stopping on “inside turns” on roads where unburned vegetation lies in the drainage below the road
✅ If trapped — stay in your car or move to a safe refuge area

🚙💨 Pro tip: Take the vehicle that’s most capable and has the fullest gas tank

Your safety—and your community’s—depends on staying calm and prepared.
