State of Massachusetts Animal Response Team
You can volunteer to help animals
in disasters by joining SMART!
The State of Massachusetts Animal
Response Team (SMART) is a network
of organizations, agencies, and
individuals who are committed to
responding to the needs of the
animal population in
disaster situations in the State
of Massachusetts.
Within SMART are seven working teams: Shelter Operations, Search &
Rescue, Assessment, Deceased Animal Removal & Disposal, Veterinary
Services, Animal Control Officer and Specialized Animal Services. During a
disaster any one of these teams may be activated by the SMART Team
Leader. The teams utilize the principles of the Incident Command System
(ICS) and National Incident Management System (NIMS).
SMART is currently accepting volunteers for the teams. If you are
interested in joining our team, please check out HOW TO
VOLUNTEER or contact us.
