ACTIVATION POLICY
At the first notice of an incident that could threaten human life and/or property in areas where there are barn animals, the Yavapai County Office of Emergency Management (YCOEM) alerts LASER. Immediately, LASER sends a “heads-up” text message to all LASER shelter volunteers, asking for their availability for scheduling over the next few days. The large animal shelter is set up by LASER’s Quick Response Team, ready to open to Yavapai County residents once an evacuation GO order is issued by the Sheriff or at the direction of YCOEM.
