Haiti Earthquake: IFAW Emergency Team on Alert
IFAW’s Emergency Relief team is on high alert to help in Haiti after a devastating earthquake struck near the capital of Port-au-Prince on January 12.
As always with disasters like this, the humanitarian rescue efforts will be the focus in the first week or so. The immediate priorities will be getting food, clean water, shelter and medical attention to the survivors.
After those immediate human needs are met, IFAW's Emergency Response team will be ready to assist the animal victims in any way that we can. In the meantime, please keep the people and animals of Haiti in your thoughts.
