When Disaster Strikes

Who Will Protect and Care for Them

In today's world, we all worry about the threat of a natural or man-made disaster. Animals are especially vulnerable when a disaster strikes because they must rely on us for help. In 1999, Hurricane Floyd claimed the lives of millions of animals in North Carolina and thousands more were separated from their owners. Many of these animals could have been saved by a coordinated response plan. From this tragedy, the State Animal Team (SART) concept was born. In 2004, Pennsylvania adopted this concept to address its animal-related response needs.

The Pennsylvania State Animal Response Team (PSART) was created through a private-public partnership to serve as a unifying network of organizations, businesses, federal, state, county and local governments agencies, and individuals that supports the prevention, preparedness, response and recovery for emergencies affecting animals. Because disaster response need to happen at a local level, PASART builds County Animal Response Teams (CARTs) across the state. County coordinators are selected to lead the development of county teams consisting of volunteers who will respond to emergencies at a local level.

Ardis Lukens from (MCART), Montgomery County's County Animal Response Team, will instruct us on how to prepare for a disaster, create disaster preparedness kits and develop emergency plans for our family, pets and other animals.

We will be meeting at Pabby's Pet Care Center to
ROMP and PLAY, PARTY and PLAY GAMES.
