Pennyrile Citizen's Corps Council creates DART program

The Pennyrile Area Citizen’s Corps Council has created its first disaster animal response team.

According to Regional Operations Manager Frank Brown, FEMA recently mandated additional training to create the pet-friendly program, which will fall under the community emergency response team program.

In addition, Brown says the DART program should reassure pet owners that their four-legged family member will be cared for during a natural disaster.
For more information about how area citizens can protect their pets when a disaster strikes, Brown says citizens can contact him directly at 270-885-1530.
