ALERTS! HURRICANE Hanna 2008 UPDATE 09.04.08
HURRICANE 2008 UPDATE
With the track of Hurricane Hannah heading towards the East coast, we urge all SART volunteers to access their information in the SART website and review it for updates on contact numbers, certifications and trainings. SART will post updates and mission request on the SART website, so please review the website for the latest information. When the State Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is activated, SART will have a representative in the EOC providing updates as well.
REMEMBER..... please prepare for your family and pets now if you plan to offer assistance during the storm. Do Not self deploy, but sign up to be a part of an approved mission from State Emergency Management or Agriculture.

State Animal Response Teams (SART) are interagency state organizations dedicated to preparing, planning, responding and recovering during animal emergencies in the United States. SART is a public private partnership, joining government agencies with the private concerns around the common goal of animal issues during disasters. SART programs train participants to facilitate a safe, environmentally sound and efficient response to animal emergencies on the local, county, state and federal level. The teams are organized under the auspices of state and local emergency management utilizing the principles of the Incident Command System (ICS).
WHO WE HELP
SART brings together individuals and organizations from a broad range of animal interest, united around the common goal of preventing and responding to animal emergencies. These SART entities recognize the critical role of animals in our society, and their value. SART helps focus these efforts on what unites, rather than divides them. All SART entities are strongly encouraged to utilize the resources here to prevent and mitigate disasters.
SART is typically organized at the local level as County Animal Response Teams (CARTs). In states that do not have a county structure, we use other local designations as appropriate.
