Etowah County Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (ECVOAD) is a group of representatives from local government, municipalities, and social service organizations who may be involved in the event of a disaster. Our mission is to foster efficient and streamlined service delivery to people affected by disaster, while eliminating unnecessary duplication of effort, through cooperation in the four
phases of disaster: preparation, response, recovery and mitigation. It is our intention to be a network for organizations active in disaster. Member organizations will maintain their own identity and independence while closely collaborating with other ECVOAD member organizations, interfaiths and local, state and federal authorities.
