That is why the NARSC coalition has developed and trained the first Animal Type 1 IMT. The National Animal Rescue and Sheltering Coalition (NARSC), is comprised of nine national animal welfare organizations, which include the AHA (American Humane Association), ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), Best Friends Animal Society, Code 3, Humane Society of the United States, International Fund for Animal Welfare, National Animal Control Association, Society of Animal Welfare Agencies and United Animal Nations. Incident Management Teams are part of the Incident Command System and manage the logistical, fiscal, planning, operational, safety and community issues related to the national/state emergency. An Incident Management Team will provide the command and control infrastructure that is needed for the emergency. akameridians wrote: now since passage of the PETS Act, for anyone interested in responding to a federally declared disaster, a volunteer has to have at least the basic training completed (IS 10, 11, 100, 200, 700 and 800). Yes, it's true, no more just showing up, the Feds want people to be credentialed.
