What is VOAD?
Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) is a collaboration of a diverse group of organizations and citizens trained to meet community needs should a large-scale natural or man-made disaster occur. VOAD coordinates planning efforts and, during a disaster, matches community needs with services provided by member VOAD agencies. This cooperative effort has proven to be the most effective way for a wide variety of volunteers and organizations to work together in a crisis.
VOAD serves member organizations through:
- Cooperation - creating a climate for cooperation at all levels (including grass roots) and providing information.
- Coordination - members commit themselves to work together and not competitively toward a shared goal of effective service to disaster victims. They seek to match services to need.
- Education - providing training and increasing awareness and preparedness in each organization.
- Mitigation - encouraging its members to participate in mitigation efforts to reduce the impact of disasters.
- Convening - putting on seminars, meetings, board meetings, regional conferences, training programs, and local conferences for member organizations and community leaders.
- Outreach - encouraging the formation of and giving guidance to state and regional voluntary organizations active in disaster relief.
