Surviving Mother Nature's Worst
The Ultimate Emergency Wildlife Disaster & Severe Weather Triage Guide
Cold snaps, heat waves, floods, hurricanes, droughts, wildfires and ice storms, and the wildlife they leave on your lawn. 10 modules on warming cold-stunned reptiles slowly, bird heat stroke, flooded burrows, blown-in seabirds, safe drought water stations, smoke and burns, why rapid re-warming stops hearts, birds frozen to metal, biosecurity when everything arrives at once, and working with the agencies that run a disaster.
About this course
When the weather turns, wildlife ends up where it never should be: lizards stiff on the sidewalk, a pelican in a parking lot three states inland, a hawk frozen to a railing. This course is for those days. You'll learn why a cold-stunned reptile that looks dead usually isn't and why it must warm up slowly in a mild room, how birds show heat stroke and what to do without forcing water, where flood survivors hide and how to dry them, why a storm-blown seabird needs a marine rescue and not your bathtub, how to run a drought water station that doesn't drown or sicken anyone, what smoke and burns look like on fur and feathers, why plunging a hypothermic animal into warmth stops its heart, how warm water frees a bird iced to metal, how to keep germs from spreading when twenty animals arrive in one afternoon, and how to plug into the agencies and relief coalitions that run a real disaster.
What you'll learn
- Cold-stunned reptiles: slow indoor re-warming, never high heat
- Avian heat stroke, flood wash-outs, and blown-in seabirds
- Safe drought water stations with escape ramps and daily cleaning
- Wildfire smoke inhalation and burns
- Why rapid re-warming causes cardiac arrest, and freeing birds iced to metal
- Mass-casualty biosecurity and coordinating with disaster agencies
Who this is for
Anyone in hurricane, wildfire, flood or ice-storm country, backyard birders who put water out in droughts, volunteers who show up when a disaster hits, and rescue groups building a weather plan.
