DESCRIPTION:The role that animals play in disaster response\, recovery and
  experience is often overlooked in policy and academia due to the emphasis
  on preserving human life in disasters. Yet this is a false division\, sin
 ce animals significantly shape disaster response\, evacuation\, logistics\
 , cultural practices\, and recovery among others\, and are themselves at r
 isk from a range of healthcare and health impacts of disasters. This sessi
 on will explore the role of animals in disasters and the implications for 
 policy and research. \n\nAfter the presentations by Mihai and Donelle we w
 ould like to have a discussion and exchange about the audiences experience
 s of the role of animals in disasters\, so if possible\, please consider t
 he following questions before or while attending:\n\n-        How has your
  research or personal experience (if you are comfortable sharing) on or ar
 ound disasters or hazards involved animals?\n-        What form did this t
 ake and how did it influence the disaster or your upstanding or experience
  of it?\n-        If appropriate\, what lessons do you think we can or sho
 uld learn from this?
