The CART Mission:

To coordinate, educate and train volunteers to prepare for and respond to natural and manmade disasters in the 16 designated counties of the Cincinnati tri-state area including Ohio homeland security region 6.  When activated, we will provide authorized search and rescue, temporary care and shelter for animals of any kind that are impacted by the disaster. This will reduce public health hazards and expedite the evacuation of animal owners.

The CART Vision:

To ensure that all animals are considered and cared for before, during and after any natural and manmade disaster in our area.

To accomplish this, a CART team will be formed in each tri-state county.  In a disaster the county team will respond when activated by the county Emergency Manager (or other government official.)  Members of the non-effected county CART teams can offer volunteers and supplies if needed to assist the affected county or counties.  The teams will also support each other with multi-team training events and information sharing.  The activated team’s job will be to rescue and care for any animals that are affected by local man-made or natural disasters or emergencies.
