VOAD/COAD
Voluntary Organization Active in Disaster (VOAD)
Voluntary Organization Active in DisasterOzaukee County launched a Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) Council in 2000. This program became a model for similar programs around the State. VOAD and Citizen Corps Councils are merging into a single comprehensive Council to coordinate the mobilization of local resources when disasters and other emergency threaten or strike in Ozaukee County. The Council also serves as a conduit to mobilize resources and volunteers to our disaster stricken neighbors upon request.
