Mission and Purpose
The mission and purpose of the Utah Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (UTVOAD) is to bring together voluntary organizations active in disaster and thereby foster an effective, congruent response in times of disaster. Utah VOAD seeks to ensure the availability of needed services and to encourage the uniform, impartial provision of these disaster response services. UTVOAD shares knowledge and resources throughout the disaster cycle—preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery especially to help disaster survivors and their communities.
Communicate, Coordinate, Cooperate and Collaborate
Members of UTVOAD form a coalition of nonprofit and faith-based organizations and government organizations that respond to disasters as part of their overall mission. Together UTVOAD fosters more effective service through the four C’s—communication, coordination, cooperation, and collaboration—by providing convening mechanisms and outreach for all people and organizations involved in disaster response.
