An action-sequence emergency response checklist for zoo staff covering the five major emergency types: animal escape, fire, severe weather, medical emergency, and large-scale guest evacuation. Each scenario has its own step-by-step procedure with role assignments.

Zoo emergencies are uniquely complex — an escaped dangerous animal requires a completely different response from a building fire, yet both may involve evacuating thousands of visitors. This checklist serves as the quick-reference guide that staff can follow under pressure.

This checklist template is provided as a general-purpose resource and is not tailored to the regulatory requirements of any specific country, region, or jurisdiction. It is the responsibility of each organisation to review and adapt this template to ensure compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations. Miratag does not accept liability for any inaccuracies or omissions, or for any actions taken based on this template.
