Montana Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster - MTVOAD

Montana Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster, Inc. (MTVOAD) is a consortium of organizations whose respective missions include preparing for, responding to, recovering from, or mitigating the effects of disasters that may occur within Montana.  By encouraging cooperation, coordination, and communication and through educational programs and convening mechanisms, this organization assists member agencies in reaching their common disaster-related goals.  Montana VOAD assumes no role in directly providing services to those imperiled or impacted by disasters; direct services are provided by the member organizations.  Each member organization maintains its own identity and independence, yet collaborates and coordinates with other agencies to improve service and eliminate duplication in the delivery of services.  By cooperative agreement, this organization is a component of the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD.)
