Introduction to Emergency Pet Services
Canadian Disaster Animal Response Team (CDART) will provide an Introduction to Emergency Pet Services course for volunteers. This free workshop provides information on community animal disaster response and which animals are included in emergency response. We will review the emergency management incident command system and how animals are handled within that system.
Participants will learn about communication, worker care and other items used by disaster response team members. We’ll go through a tabletop shelter exercise, learning how to document animal care during a response.
We’ll learn how to prepare a Grab & Go Kit for pets and the steps required before deployment to disasters.
At the end of this course, participants will be able to assist animals and their people in the event of a disaster in their community, responding as a member of an emergency pet services team.
