📍 Operational Impact for SPCA Selangor (Animal Relief)

1. Wider Area & More Potential Pet Cases

• With 308 families affected and 87 homes destroyed, the number of pet cases may continue to rise as more owners return or come forward.

2. Prolonged Field Presence

• Based on the councillor’s latest verbal update, no end date is confirmed, but operations may last up to 2 weeks.

• This requires sustained support and structured team rotation to avoid burnout and resource gaps.

3. Continued Need for Shelter & Support

• Since 630 people are still in PPS, many of their pets may still be displaced, unclaimed, or in need of boarding and food support.

• Our planned centralised supply system and mobile support will be crucial for this group.

4. Shifting Focus

• As access to more homes is cleared, our strategy must transition:

• From: Search & Rescue + Emergency Response

• To: Ongoing support, medical care, and supply continuity for pet owners rebuilding their lives

⸻

🔜 What We Need to Do Next

• Prepare for extended deployment or redirections to nearby resources

• Scale our animal tracking and foster coordination system

• Begin mapping pets per PPS family, especially for those still unable to return home

• Keep clear records of rescued but unclaimed animals

• Hold coordination with PPS and Majlis to ensure future supply drop-off logistics are integrated with human aid flow
