While our Base of Operations is in Contra Costa County, California, DART responders will come to the assistance of communities and animals all over the country.
This year DART responders have deployed (through other organizations than DART) to:
- Faulkner County, Arkansas (Emergency*, 1 DART responder)
- Joplin, Missouri (Disaster, 1 DART responder)
- Minot, North Dakota (Disaster, 4 DART responders)
- Lincoln Train Derailment (Emergency, 2 DART responders)
We are very proud of these responders and have acknowledged their contributions to animal disaster response during our internal meetings.
* For an explanation of the difference between Emergencies and Disasters, please see E.L. Quarantelli: "Emergencies, Disasters and Catastrophes Are Different Phenomena" in our Training Handouts
