Beaufort County issued the following announcement on July 21.
Beaufort County Animal Services is looking for community members to volunteer to be part of their CART (County Animal Response Team). Interested volunteers can attend a two-day training free of charge on how to respond and care for animals in the event of a disaster or other emergency.
The training will be a hybrid mix of Zoom and on location at the Burton Wells Recreation Center, 1 Middleton Recreation Drive, Burton (map), Wednesday, July 27, and Thursday, July 28, from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.
Topics will include federal and state disaster plans, climate change and the impact on animals, hurricanes, floods, slack water rescue, the role and history of CART, table-top exercises, and more. Dr. Green will lead the workshops from Critters at Risk.
