MISSION STATEMENT
OUR MISSION
San Mateo County Large Animal Evacuation Group’s (SMC LAEG) mission is to provide evacuation services and shelter for large/farm animals in the event of disaster, such as wildfire or flood, or in other emergencies. These efforts include the evacuation of animals, caring for the animals in holding areas after evacuation, and facilitating the return of animals to their owner/agent. SMC LAEG is activated by the San Mateo County Department of Emergency Management, or other first responders, and its efforts are staffed by SMC LAEG’s core team members and volunteers.
SMC LAEG is an all-volunteer 501c3. The group also provides preparedness workshops and site inspections upon request.
