This #MovementMonday, we're highlighting National VOAD Partner Good360! By connecting donated goods and essential resources with organizations serving disaster-impacted communities, @Good360usa helps strengthen coordinated response and recovery across the #VOADMovement.
This morning, National VOAD hosted a delegation from Taiwan’s National Fire Agency to share the VOAD model and how Cooperation, Communication, Coordination, and Collaboration strengthen disaster response and recovery. Thank you for joining us! #VOADMovement
Preparedness grows when knowledge moves through a community. One useful conversation can help someone else prepare.
What is one preparedness tip you always share?
#PreparednessHappensTogether
Know where to turn after a disaster. VOADs and National VOAD members connect survivors with shelters, MARCs and recovery resources.
Prepare at ready.gov and visit nvoad.org for VOAD information and resources.

This #MovementMonday, we're highlighting IDEA (formerly Islamic Relief USA)! With a new name and the same commitment to serving communities, IDEA continues its work in disaster relief and long-term recovery. Proud to have them in the #VOADMovement!

For #MovementMonday, we're highlighting @SalvationArmyUS Salvation Army! From feeding & emergency assistance to emotional and spiritual care, their teams serve communities throughout response and recovery. Thank you for being an important part of the #VOADMovement!
The best emergency plan is one your household can actually use. Consider schedules, transportation, medications, pets and access needs. Write it down, share it and practice it.
Preparedness should fit your life, not an imaginary perfect day.
#PreparednessHappensTogether
This Labor Day, we honor the volunteers who prepare communities and the workers who continue serving their neighbors in times of need.
Thank you for the time, skill and care you give to others. Have a safe and restful Labor Day!

VOAD partners are clearing debris, repairing homes, distributing food and preparing for new threats. Remember: some FEMA declarations help households, while others fund public and eligible nonprofit recovery. Check the incident and location before applying. #VOADMovement
National VOAD is monitoring Hurricanes Lowell, Karina and Marie and their potential impacts on Hawaiʻi and other Pacific communities. We remain connected with Hawaiʻi VOAD and our members as conditions evolve. Follow local guidance and visit hurricanes.gov for updates.
Preparedness is local. Identify the hazards most likely to affect your community, then learn your evacuation routes, sign up for alerts and locate nearby resources.
What is the greatest risk where you live?
#PreparednessHappensTogether #NationalPreparednessMonth
Preparedness begins before a forecast, warning or emergency. It starts when we understand local risks, know our neighbors and build trusted relationships.
This #NationalPreparednessMonth, remember: Preparedness Happens Together.

This #MovementMonday, we're highlighting @AllHandsHearts! Through volunteer-powered disaster response and recovery, they help communities rebuild homes, schools & critical infrastructure. We're proud to have them as part of the #VOADMovement!
This August, the #VOADMovement worked together from Hawaii and Guam to Indiana, Wisconsin, Colorado, Puerto Rico, North Dakota, Washington, the CNMI and beyond.
The work continues, and so do the 4 Cs.
Together, we're Ready to Respond. Ready to Recover.
Communication. Coordination. Collaboration. Cooperation.
From Slack and biweekly calls to trainings, coordination calls and in person meetings, the 4 Cs connect the #VOADMovement and strengthen how we serve communities.
Ready to Respond. Ready to Recover. #VOADMovement
This summer, our Tribal & Technology Roundtables brought the #VOADMovement together to share ideas, strengthen relationships & improve coordination. These conversations help us prepare before disaster strikes.
Stronger together. Ready to Respond. Ready to Recover. #NationalVOAD
It's #MovementMonday! This week we're highlighting @OpBBQRelief, whose volunteers provide hot meals to survivors, first responders & communities impacted by disaster. Another example of the unique capabilities that make the #VOADMovement stronger.
Response may last days. Recovery can take years.
National VOAD's Long Term Recovery Committee & Resource Center help equip communities and LTRGs with tools for the road ahead.
That's how the #VOADMovement stays Ready to Respond. Ready to Recover.
