This resolution addresses how local governments in Utah plan for disasters that may require residents to evacuate with household pets. It encourages, but does not require, local governments to update their emergency plans to account for the needs of people with pets during evacuations and sheltering, and to coordinate with emergency management professionals, animal welfare organizations, public health agencies, and other community partners to provide adequate care standards for pets during emergencies. The resolution does not change any existing law or create new legal requirements; it directs that copies be sent to the Utah Division of Emergency Management, county and municipal governments, and local emergency planning committees as a formal statement of encouragement.
