Description

Incidents that involve animals trapped in Flood and Swiftwater require special considerations and knowledge. This training is provided through both hands-on and classroom instruction. This class covers both the ASAR Swiftwater Technician skills and the ASAR Floodwater Boat Operations. Small animal rescue techniques will be the primary focus, with additional discussion about large animal issues and hazards in floodwater. Participants need to have the ability to swim in moving water conditions. Existing USAR and Task Force team members taking this course will receive credentialing for the FEMA USAR animal rescue competencies. Animal welfare professionals attending the training will receive credentialing to meet type 2 ASAR FEMA resource typing.
