Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD)

During the Hurricane Ivan Disaster Response phase, the South Baldwin United Way accepted the challenge to "Connect the Dots" in Baldwin County, Alabama. They accomplished this mission by leading the Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) meetings to bring agencies, organizations, churches and individuals together to help assist with unmet needs of hurricane victims that were not being addressed by national organizations.

 

The VOAD meeting minutes are available below in PDF format.

Information was provided to the community through the South Baldwin United Way Hotline, 1-800-681-6910, and via their website, www.southbaldwinunitedway.org. The information provided on the hotline and website was designed to provide as much information as possible to those needing assistance, as well as information for those who would like to give assistance to hurricane victims.  

Disaster Response meetings are no longer being held. Ongoing recovery is now being handled by the Baldwin County VOAD Long Term Recovery Team. Please visit the Long Term Recovery pages on this website for information about current recovery activities.
