ABOUT NH-DART

The New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets, and Food (NHDAMF) and the State Veterinarian are responsible for animal disaster planning, response, and recovery for the State of New Hampshire.

New Hampshire Disaster Animal Response Team (NH-DART) was established on May 1, 2007, in response to the federal PETS Act of 2006. The organization's primary functions include

· Assisting the State Veterinarian in facilitating an organized response
  to animals in disaster
· Raising funds, through private sponsors and grants, for training, equipment,
  and consulting services to assist appropriate local agencies and organizations
  in planning for animals in disaster
· Assisting with identification of animal evacuation sites
· Providing logistics, operations, planning, and finance functions
  to the State Veterinarian during times of declared disaster
· Developing partnerships with cities, towns, and state agencies to help establish
  trained teams that will be tied to NH-DART
· Assisting with the development of training guidelines
· Developing strong partnerships with other organizations responsible for mass care
