Pet owners are reminded that once they evacuate they will not be allowed to return home during the fire emergency. Please crate your animals before loading your car. Want to help animals furing an emergency? Join the Lamorinda Disaster Animal Response Team (DART).
About Lamorinda DART (Disaster Animal Response Team)
Lamorinda DART (Disaster Animal Response Team) represents a new and exciting response to issues surrounding animals in disasters. Traditionally, Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) take care of human animals only. After the passage of the PETS Act of 2006 (Pets Evacuation and Transportation Standards Act) little has changed, even though the PETS Act requires that FEMA sponsored or subsidized entities (such as CERT) take domestic pets and their owners into account. In the absence of adequate animal disaster response many animals (and some of their owners) perish, even today.
Lamorinda DART (Disaster Animal Response Team) consists of Lamorinda CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) graduates from Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda, who have received additional animal sheltering and rescue training and are able to provide disaster response to all animals (human and others). As first responders Lamorinda DART members are in a unique position to save both human and animal lives and prevent unnecessary suffering from the moment a disaster happens.
