The Nevada County Veterinary Disaster Response Team (NCVDRT), also known as Nevada County Animal Evacuation, got started during the 49er Fire in 1988 and helped evacuate animals to a safe place. Animals who are evacuated by NCVDRT are housed, fed and receive medical attention if needed. Since then, NCVDRT has been mobilized for other fires, and provides mutual aid when called on for fires and floods in other counties.

We all know that the threat of fire or another disaster is a possibility. Being prepared is key to making sure everyone, including your animals, is safe. NCVDRT works closely with Nevada County Animal Control. Contact NCVDRT for more information.
