Emergency Response Team

Be there for animals when they need you most – before, during and after an emergency. Whether it’s a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, fire or coastal flooding, Charleston Animal Society activates an emergency response team to make sure our community’s beloved pets are safe.

We are currently looking for individuals to join our Emergency Response Team. This team will help our staff prepare for an emergency, continue operations during an emergency, help transport animals to safety and assist with recovery after an emergency.
