AI Summary

This bill, known as the Planning for Animal Wellness Act (PAW Act), requires the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to establish an advisory working group to address the needs of household pets, service animals, and captive animals in emergency and disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. The working group, composed of representatives from state and local governments, academia, veterinary experts, and non-profit organizations, will review best practices and federal guidance, and determine if updated guidance is necessary.
