An important question that all veterinary schools should consider is whether veterinary students should be trained to deal with local or regional states of emergency or disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, hail and ice storms, wind storms, fires, earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and epidemics. When a large-scale emergency or disaster does strike, the consequences can be dire for the domestic and wild animals of the region and for the humans within the vicinity of seriously and painfully injured animals. The authors argue that emergency preparedness is essential for the veterinary profession to meet its obligations to both animals and humans. The four basic components of disaster management are: mitigation, preparedness, response/emergency relief and recovery.
所有兽医学院都应考虑的一个重要问题是，是否应该对兽医专业学生进行培训，使其能够应对当地或区域的紧急状态或灾难，如飓风、龙卷风、野火、冰雹和冰暴、风暴、火灾、地震、海啸、洪水和流行病。当大规模紧急情况或灾难确实发生时，对该地区的家畜和野生动物以及在严重受伤和痛苦的动物附近的人类来说，后果可能是可怕的。作者认为，应急准备对于兽医行业履行其对动物和人类的义务至关重要。灾害管理的四个基本组成部分是：减轻、准备、应对/紧急救援和恢复。
