WHAT IS SETX VOAD?
SETX VOAD is an acronym for Southeast Texas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster.
SETX VOAD is a humanitarian association of organizations who may have volunteers and other resources to serve their community in one or all phases of disaster.
The mission of SETX VOAD is to foster efficient, streamlined service delivery to people affected by disaster, while eliminating unnecessary duplication of effort, through cooperation in the four phases of disaster: preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation.

HOW CAN I SUPPORT THROUGH SETX VOAD?
Many organizations and businesses want to be involved with helping their community during times of disaster, but aren't sure how to get plugged in. Becoming involved with VOAD is the way to do that! SETXVOAD collaborates with local, state and federal governmental partners, as well as other nonprofits, including churches, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations and businesses. The VOAD provides a "table" where all organizations have a seat and opportunity to share experience, knowledge, and resources, and provides a space for relationship building and planning before a disaster ever happens. Communities recover faster, better and stronger when the whole community comes together for a shared mission.
