Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD)

Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD) is a coalition of organizations that collaborate to support communities affected by disasters. They coordinate efforts, share resources, and plan responses to ensure efficient and effective aid after events like hurricanes, earthquakes, or floods. VOADs include federal, state, and local agencies, as well as non-profits, faith-based groups, and community organizations. Their goal is to provide immediate relief and aid in long-term recovery, working together to reduce duplication and maximize the impact of volunteer efforts and resources during disaster response and recovery.
