Let’s get ready — together!
Learn more about New York’s VOAD
Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster
State/Territory VOADs are associations of organizations that lead response efforts, communicate urgent needs to the wider National VOAD network, and provide assistance to communities affected by disaster.
The membership of New York VOAD consists of both locally based organizations and local representatives of national organizations. Our mission is to strengthen the capabilities of organizations working together in our State/Territory to respond to communities affected by disaster.
