Colorado SART is dedicated to providing training programs to communities and creating "train-the-trainer" opportunites through which local trainers can provide community training. Goals include the following:

• Animal evacuation and sheltering
• Zoonotic disease awareness/prevention
• Foreign animal disease awareness/prevention
• Biosecurity for livestock producers
• Continuity of Operations planning for veterinary hospitals, shelters, kennels, and livestock facilities

We hope to have at least some of these modules available before the end of 2005.
