VOLUNTEERING

All disasters are local. Most of the time, outside help is at least 24–72 hours away.

Join a team and become prepared to take care of your own animals, your neighbor's animals, and your community's animals. As a trained team member, you'll also be able to participate in state responses to floods, hurricanes, and other natural and man-made disasters involving animals. Teams need committed volunteers who are willing to work within an emergency system. Whatever contributions you can make are needed and welcome.

Currently (April 2008), New Hampshire volunteers are affiliated with regional teams in Keene, New Ipswich, Manchester, Laconia, Rochester, and Goffstown. Additional teams are forming in other locations.

As a new volunteer, you will learn about (and in some instances become certified in) the following areas:
· Planning for your own animals
·
Human and animal CPR and First Aid
·
Animal handling (large, small, and exotic animals)
·
The National Incident Command System
·
Large- and small-animal rescue techniques
·
Rope and incline rescue
·
Mud and water rescue

You'll also have the opportunity to participate in simulated drills—and much, much more.
