National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD): Cooperation, Communication, Coordination, Collaboration in Disaster Response
NOVAD’s website lists America organizations, faith-based and otherwise, which provide disaster relief and many support services. Membership includes Lutheran Disaster Response, United Way, Adventist Community Services, the American Red Cross, County Emergency Management Agencies, FEMA, Pharmacy Associations, Associations of Food Banks, Humane Associations, and the Salvation Army, to name just a few.
You can find contact information and links to the web pages for each organization at the NOVAD site. Check your state’s listings to see whether there’s a group you can contact as a resource, or perhaps you would like to volunteer to help out in your area.
There are also valuable resources listed from their “Member Tools” link and their “Links” directory. You may wish to contact some of their members to link to them from your local preparedness page.
