Animal rescue teams need to acquire or have access to an array of equipment, safety gear, clothing, and vehicles. Since this can be an expensive proposition, the CART should consider seeking funds to help equip its animal rescue team and assist with the cost of training. The team will also need to have access to four-wheel-drive vehicles, boats, helicopters, and trailers. This may be accomplished through local emergency management or agreements with local companies owning such vehicles.
Roles and Responsibilities
The State Animal Response Team will be supported in search and rescue efforts by our S&R Participating Organizations: If you are a member of a group that would be interested in participating in search and rescue, please contact SART to register your group prior to the onset of a disaster.
