What type of activities do response teams assist with according to their service mandate?

Response teams are specifically designed to assist with activities related to animal sheltering and disaster care. This falls within their service mandate as they are often deployed in emergency situations where animals are at risk due to natural disasters or other crises. Their role includes providing immediate care for animals, ensuring their safety, and facilitating shelter operations to house them until more permanent arrangements can be made.

In contrast, while medical training for professionals, fundraising for rescue operations, and community education on animal rights are important components within the broader context of animal welfare and public health, they do not align directly with the primary focus of response teams. These teams are specifically activated to address urgent needs during disasters, making animal sheltering and care their central activity.
