Objectives
Network and plan with ZDR3 Network facilities and others in your region
Meet ZDR3 core personnel and learn:
how to develop disaster response teams to support other zoological facilities impacted by a disaster
how to strengthen your own facility’s response capacity
about ZDR3’s disaster response planning specific to the state of Texas and Gulf Coast region, and how to be more involved
how teams from different facilities can complement each other's strengths
how preparing to respond to other facilities can help enhance a facility’s own planning and preparedness needs
areas to consider in facility planning and preparedness based on lessons learned from ZDR3’s responses activities
Participants
Current and potential ZDR3 Network facility members from Texas, and nearby facilities in Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arkansas, though participants from other regions are welcome.
A facility does not need to be a member of ZDR3 to participate.
