National Alliance of State Animal and Agricultural Emergency Programs

NASAAEP is a national network of state animal and agricultural emergency programs and other stakeholders that promotes effective, all-hazards animal and agricultural emergency management. Our voting membership consists of district/state/territory departments of agriculture or board of animal health emergency planners. Our non-voting non-governmental members also include state animal/agricultural response teams (SART), state veterinary medical reserve corps (VMRC), the National Animal Rescue and Sheltering Coalition (NARSC), and other similar state, tribal or territorial programs. NASAAEP strives to be collaborative in the national animal and agricultural emergency management framework through coordination and capacity building between states, supporting credentialing standards, and sharing training initiatives and national training standards.

About Us

NASAAEP is committed to planning, preparing, and responding to disasters involving animals and agriculture and those that support the health and safety of animals.

Our organization focuses on building local capacity (as all disasters begin and end locally) and support mechanisms at the state and national levels.
