Keep copies at all keeper stations and the ops center. Follow the scenario-specific section. Do not improvise — follow the steps in order.
An action-sequence emergency response checklist for AZA-accredited zoo staff covering the five major emergency types: animal escape, fire, severe weather, medical emergency, and large-scale guest evacuation. Each scenario follows AZA accreditation requirements for documented emergency procedures.
Zoo emergencies are uniquely complex — an escaped dangerous animal requires an entirely different response from a building fire. This checklist serves as the quick-reference guide that staff can follow under pressure, and documents compliance with AZA emergency preparedness standards.
