An Addison County Disaster Animal Response Team (DART) Organizational Meeting will be held at Homeward Bound 236 Boardman Street, Middlebury Wednesday, September 26, 2018 from 6:00-7:30pm.
Come learn how you can become involved with the development of an Affiliated Regional DART for Addison County! We'll be discussing leadership for the group, and future plans to officially charter with the state-wide Vermont Disaster Animal Response Team (VDART).
We need people like you who have the desire to help animals in disasters! We welcome people from all backgrounds and skill levels. Team members include veterinarians, animal control officers, animal shelter personnel, veterinary technicians, business owners and animal lovers.
Our regional DART team members perform many services for their local communities:
• Work with their local emergency management directors to ensure that animal response plans are intertwined with human response plans before disaster strikes.
• Organize and help run emergency pet shelters to provide animal care and treatment during the disaster and its recovery period.
• Spread the word about the importance of household disaster planning for animals by tabling and speaking at local events.
