- As all living things, our non-human creatures are not immune to injury. The Red Cross (an organization proving itself more useful for EOTW scenarios than the WHO).

Space
- Everything needs space. There is many standards on how much space does any one species need. Here is a list of sites to help measure out how much space your EOTW/disaster shelter will need. By the way, measures vary from source to source and only the 4 most common species in the U.S.A. are covered here, which only represents about 70% of the total pet population. Any species in the remaining 30% only accounts for only less of 1% of the total population, which is why they are not being covered.
