In the aftermath of devastating events like Hurricane Helene, communities need swift, organized responses to provide relief and ensure the most vulnerable receive the help they need. That’s where COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disaster) steps in.
COAD brings together faith-based groups, community organizations, and individuals to work collectively during disaster recovery, creating a coordinated and effective relief effort. If you're wondering why it's important to partner with COAD, here are some key reasons:
1. Minimize Liability and Focus on Helping
Disaster relief can be chaotic, and when you're a church, nonprofit, or community group, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the legal and logistical aspects. COAD helps eliminate those concerns. By partnering with us, your organization can focus solely on what matters most—helping those in need—while COAD manages the larger operational structure, reducing potential liability.
2. Prevent Duplication of Services
In times of crisis, it’s common for well-meaning organizations to unintentionally provide overlapping services, leaving some areas over supplied while others remain in desperate need. COAD acts as the central coordinator, ensuring that resources are strategically distributed and that every corner of the community is covered. When we work together, no effortis wasted, and no family is left behind.
3. Ensure Help Reaches the Most Vulnerable
COAD works closely with local agencies, emergency management teams, and organizations on the ground to assess which areas have been hit hardest and who needs help most urgently. By partnering with us, you’ll be part of a streamlined process that guarantees the right resources reach the right people at the right time.
4. Maximize Your Impact
Whether you're a church, a nonprofit, or an individual volunteer, partnering with COAD means that your efforts are amplified. You become part of a larger, more powerful network that can respond to disaster in a more coordinated and effective way. Together, we can make a bigger impact, faster.
How to Get Involved
By partnering with COAD, your organization will be able to make a lasting difference in the lives of people impacted by disasters like Hurricane Helene. Not only will you be joining a trusted network of community responders, but you’ll also be part of a mission to strengthen our community in times of need.
