When disaster strikes, every minute counts. Are you prepared?

VOADs across the country are collaborations that establish, foster, and maintain relationships among faith- and community-based, private sector and philanthropic organizations that voluntarily collaborate and communicate amongst each other and with government emergency agencies to avoid duplication of efforts and increase the impact of direct recovery services after disaster.
