child and youth services facilities and activities, when the Army installation has jurisdictional responsibility for the
DOD school or facility.
(4) Category 2PR (prisoner needs population). Category 2PR includes all DOD detainee and prisoner populations in
prisons, brigs, or other detention facilities, including all Category 1–5 personnel assigned to, supporting, or incarcerated
within such detention facilities. Category 2PR includes corrections officers, guards, administrative personnel, and
specialized transportation services, which should not be double-counted with Category 5 first responder populations.
(5) Category 2AN (animal needs population). This subcategory includes all personnel who own or are responsible
for animals as pets and those animals which are the property and responsibility of the U.S. Government or assigned
personnel (both installation personnel and personnel assigned to all tenant organizations). These personnel and their
animals will require transportation coordination, transportation assistance, and/or temporary care, feeding, or shelter
during an evacuation. This subcategory includes all military working animals, including military working dogs
(MWDs) and military working horses. These working animals are treated with the same consideration to life safety as
military personnel and require significant pre-planning for safe evacuation prior to or during an emergency impacting
their work areas and kennels, stables, and/or pens. This subcategory also includes all personnel and families that keep
animals as personal/family pets onboard the installation or in housing areas retained within the installation’s jurisdiction.
Overseas locations must also account and prepare for the safe evacuation and care of all animals kept as personal/
family pets, regardless of on- and off-base locations. This population may include dogs, cats, birds, aquarium fish,
reptiles, amphibians, and other small animals, but does not extend to trees or plants of any type. Finally, this
subcategory also includes all other domesticated animals, such as horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs, which are kept in
established facilities such as barns or stables onboard the installation and which are the property of the U.S.
Government or assigned personnel.
Note. Category 2AN animal needs population may be difficult to identify accurately due to lack of prior data capture, especially
within the U.S, and may include estimated numbers for planning purposes. When such estimated numbers are used, it is vital that
installation EM personnel understand the limitations of such numbers and the increased need to communicate animal care
procedures, especially pre-arranged rally points for transportation, need to pre-identify special transportation requirements (for
example, - trailers), limitations on transport of additional personal property (other than emergency supply kits for both caretaker and
animal) during an evacuation, and the methods for receiving EPI during and after the evacuation order has been issued, through an
aggressive community awareness campaign. The use of a voluntary registry where personnel responsible for such animals may selfidentify
themselves to the command and request specific services/assistance is the preferred method for offsetting this information
management challenge. Another consideration is to transfer responsibility for identification and provision of such services for animal
care management to subordinate activities responsible for a significant portion of the animal population, such as stables, or enlist the
support of veterinary services to pre-identify animals within the community. It is important for commands to consult their legal
counsel to understand their legal responsibilities under PL 109–308 and Animal Welfare Act.
