How HorseAlert Works:

  • Horse owners and drivers can sign up for free at horsealert.org.
  • Modeled after widely used rideshare apps, HorseAlert connects those in need of evacuation with local drivers who are prepared to assist.

Why It Matters

When disaster strikes, horse owners are often left scrambling to find evacuation assistance through social media posts, which can lead to chaos on the roads. While the equine community’s generosity is unwavering, these disorganized responses result in unnecessary traffic, which delays evacuations, wastes valuable time, and endangers both human and animal lives. HorseAlert creates an organized, efficient way to evacuate horses, reducing traffic and chaos.

We Need Your Help

Tips for Horse Owners:

  • Have emergency supplies ready.
