How Can I Volunteer for The HSUS Disaster Animal Response Team (DART)?
Many people were motivated by Hurricane Katrina to join The HSUS National Disaster Animal Response Team (DART). Thousands of people contacted us to volunteer, and we collected online applications from people with a variety of skills. We want to stay in contact with those who volunteered as well as with those who wished to volunteer, but may have lacked the training or experience, or even the time, to do so. After each disaster, we talk about preparing for the next one, while silently hoping there will never be another one. Sadly, this wish never comes true—and so we gear up and train for the next time. With that in mind, why not get some training and be ready for whatever may happen? Every year, hurricanes, tornadoes, hazardous-materials incidents, floods, earthquakes, and other disasters threaten the animals who are so important to our lives.
