2023 Oregon Revised Statutes › Volume : 10 - Highways, Military › Chapter 401 - Emergency Management and Services › Section 401.975 - Legislative findings.

The Legislative Assembly finds that:
(1) During an evacuation after a major disaster or an emergency, many pet owners are reluctant to leave their pets and are willing to risk their lives to protect their pets.
(2) Animals are important to their owners and the presence of an animal brings comfort to an owner and may enhance recovery for an owner distressed over injury or damage caused by a major disaster or an emergency.
(3) Significant loss of livestock as a result of a major disaster or an emergency would seriously threaten the economy of Oregon. Therefore, a livestock emergency operations plan will ensure that livestock are provided for during a major disaster or an emergency.
(4) It is essential that the State Department of Agriculture, the Oregon Department of Emergency Management and the Department of Human Services work together to develop emergency operations plans for animals and livestock that provide for animals and livestock during a major disaster or an emergency.

The Legislative Assembly finds that:
