As of Saturday mid-day, Tropical Storm Hanna is exiting North Carolina leaving minimal damage and some localized flooding. NC SART would like to thank the professional coordination efforts of the Emergency Programs Division in the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for their due diligence in small and large animal operations during this event. NC SART was kept well informed and coordination lines were constantly open. We need to continue our efforts as Hurricane Ike bears down on the Gulf next week. If you have not registered in the SART Data Base as a volunteer, please do so at this time so that we may have a record of your contact information and capabilities.
Total reported shelter numbers as of today’s report are 179 people sheltered, mostly down East, along with 11 animals. The county breakdown of this effort can be found under our “Daily Hurricane Hanna Report” link. If you are reading this and your shelter information is not included, PLEASE EMAIL MARK HOWELL, PLANS CHIEF, NCDA&CS AT:
NC SART would like to thank all of the CARTs, county animal response volunteers, county animal shelter employees, animal control officers and industry employees across North Carolina who put in the hours to ensure the safety of our pets and large animals. JOB WELL DONE!
