Live federal updates — FEMA disaster declarations, National Weather Service alerts, and USGS earthquake information. Availability may vary. NAWN does not dispatch emergency response — always follow local officials and contact emergency services if in immediate danger.
Real-time urgent placements — owners, shelters, vets and first responders broadcasting to nearby verified fosters.
How it fits emergency response
When pets are displaced by disaster, hospitalization, or shelter overcrowding, the Pulse creates time. A foster takes the animal within hours while owners and rescues stabilize.
