Church Participating In a Disaster Response Organizations Conference
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a part of Utah State Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) and Mountain West VOAD, which held its annual conference in Salt Lake City to focus on principles of preparedness and response.
VOAD is a coalition of faith-based, nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations that may respond in any phase of a disaster — prepare, respond, recover, mitigate.
Analyst Comment:
Faith-Based Organizations should consider joining their state and local VOAD and similar organizations. Being a member will help their organization and the broader community better prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate disasters.
FBO’s can check out the National VOAD at Homepage | VOAD (nvoad.org)
