CHANGING STATE/FEDERAL PET EVACUATION LAWS:

To respond more effectively in a disaster, many states demand a minimum standard of preparedness and training. Animal rescuers have taken up the challenge long before passage of new state/federal animal evacuation laws.

MUTTSHACK ONLINE TRAINING:

MuttShack Animal Rescue combines FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) classes, online White Papers and lectures as coursework for our First Responder Certificate. MuttShack certified students stand toe to toe with other first responders such as firemen, Red Cross and military -- but with a focus on animals, from household pets to large animals and wildlife.

While certain FEMA classes are already mandatory for animal rescue, MuttShack’s First Responder Certification is more comprehensive, literally a mini-university degree in response training. EMI Courses and & Lectures: www.muttshack.org/Animal_Rescue_Certification_Prospectus.htm

FREE ONLINE COURSES:

Certification classes are offered free and online. Course materials can be downloaded in PDF or Word doc formats or online from FEMA’s website. The first tutorial “How to Do a Course Online” is straightforward enough so anyone can learn how to study online. Thereafter students may study courses such as Animals in Disaster, Incident Command and others.
FEMA, ISP Courses: training.fema.gov/IS/crslist.asp
National Emergency Training Center's (NETC) Virtual Campus: training.fema.gov/VCNew/firstVC.asp

Once the course materials have been perused, there is an online exam. Success comes in a small white and blue envelope bearing a Certificate of Completion. Students collect their certificates and aggregate them into various Certificates of Completion, such as the Professional Development Series, and ultimately the MuttShack Animal Rescue First Responder Course.

YAHOO STUDENT GROUP:

A Yahoo Student Group chats daily about strategies to complete courses, troubleshoot computer issues, and general camaraderie. Expert student weather watchers give updates and warnings of impending deployment. Valuable information is shared such as vaccination requirements, deployment logistics...as well as where to get the best hands-on training in aggressive animal behavior, Red Cross First Aid and CPR.
