- Our History National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster
(National VOAD): Founded over 40 years ago in response to the
challenges many disaster organizations experienced following
Hurricane Camille, a category 5 storm that hit the Gulf Coast in
1969. As an outcome, National VOAD was formed with a Mission to be
the forum where organizations share knowledge and resources
throughout the disaster cycle preparation, response and recoveryto
help disaster survivors and their communities.

- Our History Core Principles The National VOAD collaborative
practices the 4Cs as guiding principles for how we operate and
resolve conflict: Cooperation | Communication | Coordination |
Collaboration National VOAD recognizes that these 4 Cs are
progressives and based on building and maintaining trusting,
mutually capable relationships.
- Slide 5
- Our History Values Our commitment to caring and compassion for
all people is the foundation for all we do. A coordinated,
inclusive approach provides the basis for a nurturing environment
in which disaster response agencies will flourish. The quest for
excellence in National VOAD programs by encouraging best practices
and mutual accountability results in operational synergy. Our work
will be accomplished in a respectful, non-judgmental and
non-discriminatory manner. Trust, mutual respect and equal
partnerships of community service providers are essential elements
of our work. Providing hope making a difference offering
opportunities for true collaboration are the lifeblood and soul of
the organization.

- National VOAD Movement The Possibilities? The ability for a
community to be more resilient, mitigating the impact of a disaster
both before and after, will determine the healthy viability of and
options for achieving a desired future. A VOAD is unit of
transformation for the collaborative structuring of communities we
aspire to deliver Hope in time of need and inspire Confidence that
we can overcome challenges and become stronger by working together.
The vitality and connectedness of our communities will determine
the strength of our democracy. The VOAD Movement is both advocating
for rallying traditional American values and building a new
American democratic institution for resolving conflict (disaster)
and strengthening our reslient, aspirational nature as
Americans.
