News
The New York State P.E.T.S. Act became a law in September.  This new legislation provides for state and local disaster preparedness plans to address the needs of individuals with household pets and service animals following a disaster, with particular attention to means of evacuation, shelter and transportation options.  “This legislation codifies guidance that SEMO has long promoted to communities across the state.  Governor Patacki’s signing into law provides the impetus for local governments to formally address the needs of owners of pets and service animals in preparedness plans.” – Director John R. Gibb – State Emergency Management Office

Six conferences hosted by Empire SART a huge success!
CART Conference 2007 was a great success. More than 400 registrants attended these one-day conferences held in six separate locations across New York State. A variety of topics and workshops were offered throughout the day and presented by subject matter experts. The conferences provided a great opportunity for local and state stakeholders to network and learn some of the important factors in animal disaster preparedness and response.
