Mission: What is COAD?

COAD includes various community organizations that provide human service needs to our diverse community. These include non-profit, governmental, volunteer, faith-based, public service organizations and businesses. COAD functions within the Clark County Comprehensive Emergency Plan with the following functions: Mass care/shelter operations, emergent volunteer management, donation management, unmet community needs and coordinating this support to other communities outside the Clark County area.

How You Can Be Involved?

When disaster strikes a community, many people feel the need to reach out to those affected. COAD's mission is to bring together human services organizations in a coordinated response to disaster-caused needs. Through collaboration, COAD seeks to meet unmet needs and minimize duplication of services.
