DARTGuardian™
Be Ready. Be Together.
Helping pet guardians prepare before disaster strikes and stay connected
Keep important information about your animals in one place. Build your emergency plan. Know what to take with you. Find an emergency animal shelter when you need one.
If your animal needs to stay at a local emergency animal shelter, you can preregister before you arrive.
Connect guardians to responders.
Guardians can use DARTGuardian™ to preregister their animals to stay at a local emergency animal shelter during a disaster. When they arrive, the response team reviews their information and completes the intake in EASApp®. No need to enter everything again. Less paperwork for guardians. Less data entry for response teams. A smoother start for everyone.
For DART Teams, DARTGuardian™ is a community outreach tool. Your team can help the people you serve prepare before a disaster by introducing them to DARTGuardian™, encouraging preregistration, and making sure they know where to find shelter information when an emergency happens.
Prepare before the emergency.
Guardians can create profiles for their animals and keep important information organized before disaster strikes. Having this information ready can make a stressful evacuation easier and help ensure critical details are available when they are needed.
Find help when it matters.
During a disaster, DARTGuardian™ provides critical shelter information—including the closest available emergency animal shelter—so guardians know where to go. They can preregister their animals before arriving, helping reduce wait times and giving shelter teams a head start.
Teams make the connection.
DARTGuardian™ works best when communities know about it before they need it. DART Teams can introduce the app through community outreach, preparedness events, local collaborators, social media, and conversations with animal guardians.
The goal isn’t just to open a shelter when disaster strikes. It’s to help your community be ready before the doors ever open.
