Meet Claudia Romeo

Claudia brings a rare combination to veterinary emergency preparedness: real-world emergency management credentials, hands-on veterinary clinical experience, and almost a decade of military emergency management training.

She has spent her career at the intersection of crisis response and animal care — and she founded this practice because she saw a critical gap. Veterinary clinics are healthcare facilities, yet most operate without the formal emergency plans, continuity protocols, or staff readiness programs that human healthcare takes for granted. When disaster strikes — a storm, a fire, a data breach, a sudden staff loss — clinics are left scrambling.

I want to make sure you can keep saving lives, no matter what.
