Many are aware of the work done by Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD).
For those less familiar, this is the one organization recognized by each state as the clearing house for all major players in disaster response.
Most states charge $25 per year to be a member of VOAD.
In each state, you will meet and become partners with the most effective responder groups in your area.
This is the group that is called by your state's Office of Emergency Management, when a disaster is assumed.
CBF is no longer a bit player in the disaster response business.
With more than $1,500,000 spent from donations in the United States, and over $2,500,000 in labor given by over 2,000 responders in the last two and one-half years, we are here to stay.
We are no longer going to "fly under the radar." Instead, we are going to be one of the first consulted in offering assistance to each state, other groups and even FEMA.
To be ready in your area, you must be in touch with VOAD in your state.
To find your local contact, go to www.nvoad.org/membersdb.php?members=State
You will see your state information.
Call or email them and become a member today.
Once your membership is established, let me know.
I will be representing CBF at the national conference in May, and would like to announce that all our CBF state organizations are members of VOAD.
If you wonder if there is real benefit to membership, call or write Mike Young, in Tennessee.
You might want to check this site weekly for updates on our preparedness.
Together, we will make a difference in people's lives.
