Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COADs)

COADs (Community Organizations Active in Disaster) are voluntary associations of community organizations who prepare to address all four phases of emergency management: mitigation, prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. For an up-to-date list of Indiana COADs please visit https://www.indianavoad.org/about-us/.


Tools and strategies used by COADs include disaster education, training/simulation exercises, hazard analysis, regional and community emergency management plans, and leadership development.
