Does your organization plan to respond in case of an
emergency? Are you a first-responded group in your area?
Are you a non-profit organization that would aid others
in the case of a disaster? Do you want to know how your
business or industry can help when disaster strikes?
Coastal Empire VOAD is looking for representative from
your organization to join our group! VOAD is organized
as a local chapter of the Nation Voluntary Organizations
Active in Disaster or NVOAD. Our mission is based
closely with the following guiding principals:
Cooperation.
By this we mean that we need each other, that no member
organization has all the answers for the challenges we
face. We treat members as partners.
Communication.
Here we mean the regular sharing of information about
our member organizations—their capacities,
accomplishments, and commitments. We try to maintain
good channels for sharing information, listen carefully
to each other, and deal openly with concerns.
Coordination.
We commit ourselves to work together and not
competitively toward our goal of effective service to
disaster victims. We seek to match services to need.
Through planning and preparation, we equip our
organizations to behave in a coordinated fashion in time
of disaster.
Collaboration.
We dedicate ourselves to work together to achieve
specific goals and to undertake specific projects at
disaster sites. We form partnerships during the disaster
response.
Come join us! Membership is free. All meeting will be
held at the Salvation Army Community Center, 3000 Bee
Road, Savannah GA 31404 at Noon. Check out the
calendar below for the next meeting time.
