The State of Massachusetts Animal Response Team (SMART) is a network of organizations, agencies, and individuals dedicated to addressing the needs of animals during disaster situations throughout Massachusetts. SMART's mission is to establish best practices for animal emergency preparedness, providing training and education to develop local and regional disaster animal response teams, ultimately strengthening capabilities across the state.
With the goal of minimizing threats to both animal and human health and safety, as well as reducing the economic impact of animal emergencies, SMART aims to decrease the spread of disease during any emergency and understand the connection between human and animal health. In addition, SMART provides valuable information on various topics, including pet first aid, hot weather pet safety tips, and how to respond to wildfires and hurricanes.
