DARTCC | Beyond the Shelter

From Shelter Operations to a Connected Response.

Running a disaster animal shelter takes people, preparation, and the right tools. EASApp® brings them together to help responders hit the ground running and manage the operation with confidence.

But the shelter is just the beginning. We have ideas about what could come next—but we don’t build in a vacuum. The needs, experiences, and ideas of the people using these tools in the field help determine what we build, what we improve, and what we prioritize.

The possibilities are broad—from connecting shelters and resources to improving training, transportation, communication, and the tools that support a response before, during, and after a disaster. The ideas you see below are not a fixed roadmap. They are starting points for a conversation about what would make the greatest difference.

Register below for our weekly Office Hours and quarterly User Group meetings to tell us what’s working, what’s missing, and what would make your job easier. Your input helps shape what comes next.

And if you believe these tools should remain free for the responders who need them most, your financial support helps make that possible.

Run the shelter. Connect the response. Build what’s next—together.

EASApp LogoShelter Operations

EASApp provides a solid foundation for managing an emergency animal shelter—and we’re continuing to build from there.

EASApp brings the key data, tools, and people involved in an emergency animal shelter operation together in one place. Manage deployments, register animals, track daily care, manage shelter capacity, and keep the operation organized from opening through closeout.

We have more ideas for making shelter operations easier, more connected, and more useful—but what comes next will be shaped by the people who use EASApp in the field.

 

dartguardian iconDARTGuardian

Build trust and strengthen preparedness before disaster strikes.
DARTGuardian gives pet guardians a direct connection to their animal’s care and status during a shelter deployment—while helping response teams engage their communities, share preparedness information, and establish trusted relationships before they are needed.

 

Contacts IconDARTCommunity

The right response starts with the right connections.
DARTCommunity will bring local responders, animal services, veterinarians, shelters, rescues, and other resources together—making it easier to find help, share information, and build stronger response networks before disaster strikes.

Help us build the connection. DARTCommunity is still taking shape, and we’re looking for communities and partners who want to help create a better way to connect the people and resources animals need in a disaster.

 

Resources Icon

Readiness Library

The right information can make all the difference.
Give responders and volunteers access to practical guidance, videos, EASApp tips, and important shelter resources—so knowledge is available when it’s needed, during a response and long after it ends.

  

Reports

Learn From Every Response

Every response is an opportunity to learn.
EASApp captures the people, animals, activities, time, and outcomes of each deployment—creating a clear record of what happened. That information helps teams demonstrate their impact, strengthen funding requests, improve future responses, and build the knowledge needed to prepare for what comes next.

When the network goes down, the response doesn’t have to.
Disasters don’t wait for reliable internet. Offline functionality will help responders access and record critical information when connectivity is limited, then sync when they’re back online.

 

Training IconTraining

Prepared teams make stronger responses.
Build the skills and confidence responders need before disaster strikes. Training can be tailored to the types of disasters and challenges communities are most likely to face.

 

Schedule IconScheduling

Put the right people in the right place.
Know the skills, experience, and availability of your team so leaders can build stronger response teams and quickly match people to the needs of the operation.

 

Finance IconFinance

Know the true cost of responding.
Track deployment expenses and maintain the financial information needed for reporting and reimbursement—helping teams understand what it takes to respond and plan for what comes next.

 

Inventory Supplies IconInventory

Know what you have—and where it is.
Keep critical supplies organized and ready to go. Track what you have, where it’s stored, and what needs replenishing so responders can spend less time searching and more time helping.

 

TransportationTransportation

Get animals, people, and resources where they need to go.
Coordinate transportation before, during, and after a deployment—helping response teams move what matters, when it matters, even when the situation is changing quickly.
