here is an informational sheet I got from the butler county group to let all of u know what is to be expected, I am learning as we go, Cowley County Animal Response Team Disaster Responder Volunteer Path A disaster responder is trained, credentialed and prepared to respond in a disaster situation, when and only when contacted through the proper notification process. A disaster responder does NOT respond to a disaster unless asked to do so by Butler County Emergency Management, or as requested to assist other CARTs in the State of Kansas that have been deployed by their local emergency management agency. Detailed job descriptions for assigned roles in a disaster are available and include training requirements for those various roles. As a Disaster Responder volunteer, you are not expected to deploy to every disaster. There are specific core requirements for ALL disaster responder volunteers. Some courses can be taken on-line, others are offered through your county or regional animal response team. The current core requirements include: • FEMA IS 100: Intro to Incident Command System (web base) • FEMA IS 200: ICS for Single Resources and Initial Action Incidents (web based) • FEMA IS700: Introduction to NIMS (web based) • Animal First Aid (American Red Cross or equivalent course) • Human First Aid, CPR is recommended (American Red Cross or equivalent course) • Psychological First Aid (web based) OR American Red Cross or equivalent course • New York Consoritum for Emergency Preparedness - County Animal Response Teams (web based) • Go-bag for animal response team deployment Once these core requirements are met and verified, you will receive your disaster responder badge. Badges are created by county emergency managers in conjunction with your CART leader or regional coordinator. The Kansas State Animal Response Team (KSSART) website has links to the web based tests. Go to kssart.org How you can help tab - Volunteer - down to the Disaster Responder Volunteer Path. The links are highlighted in red
