F022987:
The First Responder ATR Training Scholarship Fund provides the opportunity for first responders in Florida to receive operations level training to support animal technical rescue emergencies (including livestock trapped below grade, in overturned trailers, and other hazardous environments) in their communities. With the support of donations, scholarships will be offered as they are available to qualified individuals selected by a panel of UF Veterinary Emergency Treatment Service team members. All gift sizes are greatly appreciated and help support first responders. Every $600 in donated funds supports one scholarship. For more information, visit https://responseteam.vetmed.ufl.edu/training/first-responder-atr-training-scholarship/ or contact Brandi Phillips at brandikphillips@ufl.edu.
F013175 - Veterinary Emergency Response Team - University of Florida Advancement (ufl.edu), they would like additional text added to give additional information on their program:
The UF VETS Team provides emergency response locally for animal technical rescue emergencies, involving overturned livestock trailers, animals trapped in deep mud, and a variety of other emergencies involving animals in difficult and dangerous emergency situations. The team also provides disaster response on a larger scale for natural and man-made disasters that overwhelm local veterinary infrastructure. We have provided support during numerous hoarding cases, hurricanes, and other disasters since our inception in 2004. Our largest deployments include the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, Hurricane Irma, and Hurricane Ian. The team is voluntary and able to be self-contained, providing mobile hospitals, tents, team housing, generators, food and medical supplies. Animal owners are never charged for our services for either local emergency response or disaster response missions. Your donations help us to keep our equipment in working order so that our volunteers have the tools to successfully complete our next mission request. For more information, please contact Brandi Phillips at brandikphillips@ufl.edu.
