About the E.R. Team
The E.R. (Emergency Response) Team was established by ICAW to respond to disasters for both our kennel members and local rescues and shelters. The E.R. Team is ready at a moment's notice to assist at the scene of disaster...be it fire, flood or tornado. ICAW has provided crates of various sizes that have been distributed across the state. Each Chapter has an ER Team which allows us to respond to anywhere in the state in approximately an hour or less. Our local veterinarians have been notified and they will be there to administer care and provide treatment as needed. We have contacted county officials, local fire chiefs, ambulance crews and police chiefs to make them aware of our program and to ensure their help to protect our animals, a rescue's animals, or a shelter's animals. ICAW Members, local rescues, and shelters are encouraged to have a safety plan and an escape route posted in their facilities along with the contact information of their local E.R. Team.

Each Chapter of ICAW does an annual practice Emergency Response Drill. Along with the practice drill we build relationships with our local fire chiefs, ambulance crews and police chiefs.

What is it?
The Kennel Management Assistance is a self regulatory program designed to educate and guide the members of ICAW. It was started after a promise that was made to the Indiana state legislators in 2009 to rid the state of substandard breeders. We have been very successful and will continue this fight.
