You are invited to participate in the Delaware State Animal Response Team (DE-SART) Summit. The Summit is a two-day structured planning workshop led by three members of the North Carolina SART, all of whom have strong emergency management/agriculture backgrounds.

The Summit goals are to further develop and delineate our animal response capabilities and to bring additional stakeholders into the process in order to create the animal response infrastructure needed to effectively respond to emergencies/disasters in Delaware, with initial focus on companion animals to ensure Delaware’s compliance with the PETS Act.

The DE-SART Summit details:

Where: Dover Downs Conference Center, Ballroom C

When: November 14-15, 2007, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
