Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue Awareness Level Training a Success
Marshall, NC, April 19, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The North Carolina Veterinary Medical Association (http://ncvma.org/) has announced that the Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing knowledge and training targeted to firefighters, EMS, law enforcement, veterinarians, livestock transporters, etc. for large animal rescue, recently hosted an awareness level training in February using funds received from the NCVMA’s High Five Grant program. Sponsored by Madison County Fairground, Inc., the session included both informational and hands-on training, giving participants practice in proper response during emergency events involving livestock.
The goals of the training session were to provide instruction in safe application of the technical aspects of responding to emergency events involving livestock, reach a range of technical disciplines, provide a networking opportunity within and across the discipline lines, and inspire participants to continue training for emergency responses.
The training session consisted of 66 participants representing each of the targeted audiences. Participants engaged in discussions regarding preparation for large animal emergency response, utilization of specialized equipment and additional training to share the information learned with their home counties. With the success of the Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue Awareness Level Training, participants plan to implement similar training sessions in their home counties to strengthen their county’s emergency response.
