Help your community prepare before disaster strikes.
DARTGuardian helps animal guardians get ready before they need a shelter—and connects them to critical information when disaster strikes.
For animal guardians, DARTGuardian provides one place to manage important animal information, prepare a pet emergency plan, and find the closest emergency animal shelter when help is needed. Guardians can preregister their animals before arriving, making shelter intake faster and giving responders the information they need from the start.
For DART Teams, DARTGuardian is a community outreach tool. Your team can help the people you serve prepare before a disaster by introducing them to DARTGuardian, encouraging preregistration, and making sure they know where to find shelter information when an emergency happens.
Prepare before the emergency.
Guardians can create profiles for their animals and keep important information organized before disaster strikes. Having this information ready can make a stressful evacuation easier and help ensure critical details are available when they are needed.
Find help when it matters.
During a disaster, DARTGuardian provides critical shelter information—including the closest available emergency animal shelter—so guardians know where to go. They can preregister their animals before arriving, helping reduce wait times and giving shelter teams a head start.
Connect guardians to responders.
When a guardian preregisters through DARTGuardian, their animal information can automatically populate EASApp when they arrive at the shelter. Less paperwork for the guardian. Less data entry for the response team. A smoother start for everyone.
Teams make the connection.
DARTGuardian works best when communities know about it before they need it. DART Teams can introduce the app through community outreach, preparedness events, local partners, social media, and conversations with animal guardians.
The goal isn't just to open a shelter when disaster strikes. It's to help your community be ready before the doors ever open.
