# SafeRabies

> Rabies prevention, post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) guidance, and emergency response — written from WHO and CDC guidelines. Free and independent.

SafeRabies is an English-language public-health information site covering rabies symptoms, transmission, prevention, post-exposure treatment, vaccination schedules, US state-by-state rabies laws, and a facility contact finder for PEP questions. Content is intended for the public, pet owners, parents, students, and travelers; it is not a substitute for medical care. For anyone with a possible exposure, the canonical next step is wound washing and flushing for about 15 minutes when possible with soap and running water, then prompt medical or public-health assessment. If time has passed, still seek professional guidance.
