-2012- Humboldt County Directory of Disaster Relief Services Presented by: V.O.A.D. Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster Prepared by: United Way of the Wine Country (UWWC) Humboldt/Del Norte Region 1 WHAT IS VOAD? VOAD stands for Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster. If was formed following the April 1992 earthquakes that caused severe damage and disrup- tion in Petrolia, Scotia, Rio Dell, Ferndale, and For- tuna. During the recovery stages of the earthquake, VOAD was formed to coordinate information and resources throughout Humboldt County. VOAD is a non-profit organization. Members of VOAD consist of agencies supplying emergency food, shelter, cloth- ing, communication, transportation, counseling, and For more information about VOAD, contact volunteer personnel during a disaster. VOADs are UWWC – Humboldt/Del Norte Regional Office at active throughout the nation, but this is the first such 707.443.8637 organized effort for Humboldt County. Humboldt County is susceptible to floods, earth- quakes, fires, and tsunamis. Large corporations, small businesses, service organizations, out-of-area non- profit groups, and individuals respond in the event of a disaster. Large and small donations of money, food, water, equipment, and other items are received and need to be distributed. People who do not usually volunteer come forward to help. Humboldt County’s Office of Emergency Services (OES) coordinates the activities of local, state, and federal agencies and provides information to the pub- lic via the media. Their primary contact of volunteer organizations is with the American Red Cross. The OES is not prepared to assign numerous volunteers tasks, accept and distribute truckloads of food and water, or other vital emergency activities. Members of VOAD perform these activities. VOAD will serve as a coordinating body for these or- ganizations, sharing information, directing resources, and screening/assigning volunteers. Complete and appropriate use of all local and state resources is required to receive federal assistance: once received, federal funds are first spent on phones, comput- ers, damage assessment, etc. for FEMA- not food, clothing, water, shelter. Above all else, VOAD seeks to avoid a ‘disaster after the disaster’ where limited resources are not used well and lack of coordination results in redundant services for some and gaps in service to others. 2 Table of Contents Agencies Active in V.O.A.D.
