Wisconsin
Animal Response Corps (WARC)
The WARC includes veterinarians, veterinary technicians, animal
handlers and animal caregivers across the state, and includes several from
surrounding states. The goal of the WARC is to develop a cadre of
animal-health professionals who are trained in foreign animal disease
recognition and reporting, emergency management, and the Incident Command
System.
In the event of an animal emergency, members of the WARC would aid
state and federal agencies in a response. In addition, our WARC members
are asked to network in their local communities as "animal in
disaster coordinators" assisting county and local Emergency
Management Directors. They are encouraged to also participate in local and
regional MRC units to assist public health officials with zoonosis and
animal disease issues.
