EAGLE - If disaster ever strikes Eagle County, Natalie Duck will be ready, or at least more ready than she was.

Duck, manager of the Eagle County Animal Services Department, and 14 other animal experts from around the state went to the Houston, Texas area in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita. There, she and the others got up close and personal looks at handling the wake of a natural disaster.

The group from Colorado was made up of members of the 'State Animal Response Team.' That group has a director in Denver, Kevin Dennison, but is mostly a group of local government and nonprofit animal welfare groups. "
