Is Our Community Ready for Disaster?

Floods, storms, and other disasters can strike any community, anytime. How prepared are we?

Join us on November 12 to kick off the creation of a Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) for Cattaraugus & Allegany Counties.

Learn how nonprofits and emergency services can work together to prepare, respond, and help our community recover faster when disasters hit.

You’ll:

  • Discover how COADs work

  • Hear from a COAD in action

  • Learn about local emergency plans

Let’s get ready — together!

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.
