Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD)
Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD)
VOAD agencies are a force multiplier and convener of community goodwill beyond belief. If you plan ahead and help organize the community organziations (think non-profits and faith based community), they can make a disaster go instrumentally better than it would have otherwise. You should also have a plan for when the VOAD "motherships" roll into town on a major disaster and how to leverage their capabilities.

Michael W. Hawkins, American Red Cross
Page - VOAD - SlideDeck.pptxPage - VOAD - Infographic.pngVOAD stands for Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, which is a network of non-profits, faith-based groups, and community organizations that coordinate efforts to respond to disasters. These organizations work together to provide a comprehensive response, including providing shelter, feeding, medical care, emotional support, and debris removal during and after disasters. A key function of VOADs is to improve communication, coordination, and collaboration among member organizations to ensure a more effective and efficient disaster response, while minimizing duplication of services.
