Who should look at this?

Good fit for: Organizations that need to coordinate with the broader disaster-services network, reduce duplication, identify complementary capabilities or connect into long-term recovery collaboration.

Potential audience: Voluntary, nonprofit, faith-based and community organizations involved in disaster services and coordination

VOAD participation is organizational and coordination-focused. Membership, participation and access to specific capabilities depend on Wisconsin VOAD and member-organization procedures.
