Animal Emergency Response Awareness COurse

The North Carolina Animal Emergency Response Working Group (AERWG) has developed a specialized awareness course designed to equip responders with critical skills and resources for handling animal-related incidents. This essential training will take place on Thursday, June 12 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Currituck Extension Center in Barco, NC.

Have you ever considered what you would do if you arrived at an emergency involving a horse trailer accident, an animal trapped in a pond, loose livestock obstructing traffic, or a barn fire? Would you be called to assist? If the answer is “possibly,” then this training is essential for you.

This course is tailored for fire and rescue departments, law enforcement, animal control and animal services, veterinarians, emergency management personnel, technical animal response organizations, animal associations, trained wrecker service personnel with equipment, and state agencies such as the North Carolina Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) and NC Wildlife Services.

Participants will receive awareness-level training on key topics, including:

  • Applying basic Incident Command System (ICS) and National Incident Management System (NIMS) protocols for animal emergencies
  • The Notification Process
  • Scene Arrival and Assessment
  • Responder Safety
  • Biosecurity Measures
  • Animal Behavior
  • Introduction to Animal Technical Rescue Techniques and Scenarios
  • Euthanasia and Depopulation Procedures
  • Animal Relocation
  • Mortality Management

Registration for this critical training is available through TERMS (terms.ncem.org) or Eventbrite (AnimalEmergencyCurrituck.eventbrite.com). Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your skills and ensure a safer, more effective response to animal-related emergencies.
