DART Training Inside Contra Costa
usDART organizes one DART Academy per year. The training sessions will be held at the Contra Costa County Animal Services Department.
Our regular academy takes five (evening) sessions of three hours each and ends with a 6-hour graduation drill.
This Academy is free of charge (we can keep this training free because our trainers are donating their time and our partners - such as Contra Costa County Animal Services - help out with printing etc.).
Our training is proprietary (and protected by copyright). It is based on best practices in the animal disaster response area and delivered by subject matter experts. (No, you cannot have a copy of our materials. This is a professional training.)
DART Training Outside Contra Costa
Any agency or humane organization that wishes to conduct a local DART Academy, can contract with usDART to have a custom DART training delivered locally.
The organizers of such a custom training will be responsible for:
- securing an appropriate location for up to 40 participants
- securing a video projector (2300 Lumens or higher), a projection screen, an audio system that can be connected to a laptop
- printing manuals (~200 single sided pages) and placing content in binders
- refreshments etc. for participants
- recruitment and registration of participants
