CCART Friends and Volunteers - Cumberland County Animal Response Team We operate under the direction of the Cumberland County Emergency Management Agency Director and in coordination with the American Red Cross.

The Cumberland County Animal Response Team (CCART) is a dedicated group of volunteers committed to ensuring the welfare of animals during emergencies and disasters. Our mission is to provide community awareness of disaster planning and preparedness related to companion animals and large animals, and to assist in emergency sheltering of companion animals. Shelters

Under the direction of the Emerge

ncy Management Director, our team can be mobilized to provide pet friendly emergency sheltering in coordination with the American Red Cross human shelters. The pet shelter will be located within walking distance of the American Red Cross human shelter. Notifications

In the event of an emergency, you will be notified via television, radio, and Maine 2-1-1, which is Maine’s new emergency information hotline. You will be advised where the pet-friendly co-shelters are located. Our Team

Our team consists of community members from Cumberland County who have received training in the U.S. Citizens Corps Community Emergency Response Team standards. The team then receives specialty training, incorporating best practices from the Humane Society of the United States and United Animal Nation. We have also received training from the Federal Emergency Management Agency following the National Incident Management System guidelines. Some of our members have furthered their education in Technical Large Animal Rescue. Please come volunteer with us.

Yesterday the CCART team volunteered with the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland—touring the facility, learning about their vital community programs, and we also got a sneak peek at their newly refurbished public space (opening soon! 👀). Then we rolled up our sleeves got to help prep it for launch!

Huge thanks to Jay Milligan for our fantastic behind-the-scenes tour and intimate look at all the amazing work you all do for local pets and families.

We’re proud to support ARLGP’s mission! 💙
