VDART Speaks at Vermont Emergency Management Conference
VDART and DART Command Central teamed up to speak and table at the annual Vermont Emergency Management Agency conference held in Killington in September. It was a wonderful opportunity to speak to local and state emergency managers and our partners in first response across the state on VDART’s mission and capabilities, along with the new app being developed by DART CC to streamline sheltering protocols and data management.
Our virtual presentation, Using technology to improve emergency pet sheltering during disasters, can be viewed on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
