TCSEMS Staff Volunteer For Animal Rescues

Tri-Community South EMT Becky Drudul was recently featured in a Tribune-Review article regarding her efforts to develop a Washington County animal response team which would aid and rescue area animals and pets during disasters or emergencies.

County Animal Response Teams (CARTs), which are primarily funded by the Department of Homeland Security, are local response efforts which work with the Pennsylvania State Animal Response Team (PASART).

PASART is a coordinated effort between several governmental, corporate, and private entities dedicated to the preparation, planning, response, and recovery of animal emergencies in Pennsylvania.

The team's mission is to develop and implement procedures and train participants to facilitate a safe, environmentally sound, and efficient response to animal emergencies on the local, county, state, and federal level.
