E TN VOAD - Introduction to Bulletin Board

This blog was created to be a "bulletin board" for members of East Tennessee Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (E TN VOAD).

OUR MISSION & PURPOSE

NVOAD coordinates planning efforts by many voluntary organizations responding to disaster. Member organizations provide more effective and less duplication in service by getting together before disasters strike. Once disasters occur, NVOAD or an affiliated state VOAD encourages members and other voluntary agencies to convene on site. This cooperative effort has proven to be the most effective way for a wide variety of volunteers and organizations to work together in a crisis.

Tennessee VOAD is a consortium of recognized state voluntary organizations, governmental agencies, and others with an interest in, and / or who are active in disaster relief. Its mission is to foster through cooperation in mitigation and response, more effective service to people affected (imperiled or impacted) by disasters.

The purpose of Tennessee VOAD ifs to bring together voluntary organizations, government agencies and others, to foster more efficient service to people effected by disaster in the State of Tennessee through: COOPERATION, COORDINATION, COMMUNICATION, COLLABORATION, EDUCATION, and MITIGATION, at all community levels.
