Dear​

Like you and others around the world, my colleagues and I are heartbroken for the people of Japan. Naturally, our thoughts turn to the safety of animals in times like this, too, and many of you want to know what we’re doing to help those affected by the disaster. We're actively engaged with the crisis, and I want to provide you with an update of our efforts.

Right now, our HSI disaster response team is in the Philippines and has reached out to key Japanese partner organizations to offer both immediate and long-term assistance of all kinds, including:​

• Expertise and funding for rescue efforts;​
• Animal-related needs assessment to identify where and how best to provide emergency support and veterinary attention;​
• Coordination to purchase and transport essential supplies; and​
• Establishment of shelters and supply depots in or near the strike zone.​

Once the radiation hazards of the situation in Japan have been determined, we’ll consider direct deployment of staff members. In the meantime, we’re fully committed to supporting those Japanese citizens and organizations on the ground working to help animals. ​

In disasters of this magnitude, the early focus is on human need, but that will quickly expand to include attention to the needs of animals. As the animal-related impacts of the crisis become clearer in Japan, HSI will do its best to help animals and those who care about them.

Thank you for all you do for animals.​

Sincerely,

Andrew Rowan
President & CEO
Humane Society International​

P.S. We're setting aside funds to support direct response and ongoing expenses of animal rescue and animal care in Japan and welcome donations to our International Disaster Fund.​
