AzVOADs role is to bring organizations together and enable them to understand each other and work together smoothly. To accomplish these goals, AzVOAD meets four times each year and encourages member organizations to share information and training opportunities at that time.

At the national level, VOAD is a consortium of recognized national voluntary organizations active in disaster relief. Its mission is to foster more effective service to people affected by disasters. NVOAD is 25 years old. The immediate reason for forming the organization was Hurricane Camille. In the aftermath of this disaster, the voluntary organizations who wanted to help victims realized they didn't know very much about each other, and certainly weren't very well coordinated. |
