What Is NVOAD?
- National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (National VOAD) is the forum where organizations share knowledge and resources throughout the disaster cycle—preparation, response and recovery—to help disaster survivors and their communities. Members of National VOAD form a coalition of nonprofit organizations that respond to disasters as part of their overall mission. Together we foster more effective service through the four C’s—communication, coordination, cooperation and collaboration—by providing convening mechanisms and outreach for all people and organizations involved in disasters.
Our Committee
The United States’ Islands and Alaska Committee was formed to discuss and keep before the NVOAD body as a whole, the unique challenges and issues which may affect NVOAD relief and recovery efforts in three non-continental United States regions. The three regions are the Alaska region, the Atlantic region (i.e. Puerto Rico & the Virgin Islands) and the Pacific Islands region (i.e. American Samoa, Guam, Hawaii, the Commonwealth of Northern Marianas Islands, etc.)
