Disaster Response Overview Program (DROP)

Training Designed to Prepare You for Basic Technical Animal Rescue in Emergency Response
April 5-April 9, 2021 ‐ Del Mar, CA 92014


This forty eight hour course is designed for first responders, animal control officers, law enforcement, and others that are involved in emergency or disaster response where animals are affected.  It gives an introduction to just how much goes into effecting an efficient and safe response, and how the involvement of the animal creates more variables to be aware of.  Largely hands-on, the student will benefit from real life scenarios and practical applications in handling and rescuing animals safely in various situations.

Participants will stay on site as if at a true disaster, and will need to bring clothing, necessary personal items and foodstuffs accordingly. Some evening meals will be provided.

Topics include:

  • Introduction To Search And Rescue
  • PPE And Gear Required For Rescue Work
  • Animal Handling, Behavior And Safety
  • Hazard Communication And Emergency Response Awareness

  • Maps And Navigation
  • Wildland Fire Awareness
