USDA/AAZV/ZAHP/ZDR3 Sub-Cooperative Agreement

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recognized the success and future potential of ZDR3 to respond to disasters at exotic facilities and chose to initially support its development. An existing USDA agreement with the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians (AAZV) to manage the Zoo and Aquarium All Hazards Partnership (ZAHP) was a natural alliance for directing funds to ZDR3. This collaboration will allow all involved entities to better streamline efforts where appropriate.
