The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), US, has announced that it has made available on its website a new installment of AVMA Collections, a web-based monograph series. AVMA Collections is designed to spotlight those articles from the AVMA scientific journals that have the greatest practical application for veterinarians, their clients, and the public. The latest is a compilation of articles highlighting disaster preparedness and response.
AVMA Collections was created to offer veterinary professionals and the public compilations of articles organised by topic or subject from the JAVMA and the American Journal of Veterinary Research. The latest edition includes highlights for quick reference and a topic summary. It reflects the arduous work of experts in animal disaster preparedness and response who have grappled with the central questions involved and have offered their findings and recommendations within the covers of the AVMA scientific journals.
Areas discussed include the veterinarian's role in preparedness and response; biosecurity and bioterrorism preparedness; search-and-rescue dogs; and preparedness and response policy.
