Animal Lifeline Emergency Response Team Society

To provide emergency services for domestic animals and livestock in the event of a disaster.

The Animal Lifeline Emergency Response Team (ALERT) is dedicated to animal welfare through the preparation for and the actual rescue and shelter of domestic animals and livestock in a disaster. Volunteers are mobilized when local authorities request ALERTs help and when Emergency Management BCs Emergency Support Services is activated. We hold meetings throughout the year to plan for responses. We develop response kits, participate in fundraising and public education events, hold training exercises, share policies and procedures, encourage creation of mutual aid agreements, establish emergency response supply agreements with local businesses, approve foster homes, etc. When natural or man-made disasters happen, ALERT provides assistance to the affected community by providing when necessary: Setup of temporary animal relief shelters Evacuation of animals Rescue of abandoned or stranded animals Implementation of a record keeping and identification system Transportation of animals Coordination of veterinary care for sick or injured animals Coordination of animal food and supplies Compassionate removal of animals who dont survive the disaster Lost animal documentation Reuniting animals with caregivers Facilitating fostering and/or adoption of unclaimed or surrendered animals Maintenance of animals sheltered in place
