Welcome to the first posting on the MCART blog! We hope to be an active and educational area for you to find out important information about resources available when there is a disaster!
MCART - Montgomery County Animal Response Team is a volunteer organization that is part of a much larger disaster preparedness effort. We are a P.E.M.A. organization and as such report into the SART - Pennsylvania State Animal Response Team. Our teams are part of a movement to provide support throughtout the country as part of Homeland Security.
MCART holds monthly meetings, attends events, and is always looking for a few good volunteers to help during disasters. We work to set up shelters to care for the pets while Red Cross sets up shelters for the human element. These shelters are planned to be in close proximity so people may visit and help care for their animals at a time when their pets maybe all they have left.
Pictures will be added as we build this site. We hope you come often and see the changes and interact with us.
