Inadequate written contingency plan
The licensee does not have an adequate written contingency plan. The contingency plan did not address requirements including plans for all reasonably anticipated disasters or emergency scenarios.

Dealers must develop, document, and follow an appropriate plan to provide for the humane handling, treatment, transportation, housing, and care of their animals in the event of an emergency or disaster (one which could reasonably be anticipated and expected to be detrimental to the good health and well-being of the animals in their possession). A contingency plan includes emergency situations the licensee may experience, outlines specific tasks required to be carried out during emergencies such as detailed animal evacuation instructions or shelter-in-place instructions and provisions for providing backup sources of food and water as well as sanitation, ventilation, bedding, veterinary care, identify who will be responsible for fulfilling these tasks, and address how response and recovery will be handled in terms of materials, resources, and training needed.
