What is Ventura County VOAD?
VCVOAD is a collaborative of local non-profit agencies, faith-based organizations, volunteer groups, public institutions, and private entities dedicated to improving outcomes for people affected by disasters. VC-VOAD helps communities respond to and recover from major disasters by facilitating cooperation, communication, coordination, and collaboration.
How does Ventura County VOAD benefit me and my community?
We bring together community partners and meet quarterly to discuss best practices for preparing to assist our community in the event of a disaster. We are not only active during disasters but also provide support during all phases of disaster preparedness, mitigation, and recovery.
