LTRGs and COADs

LTRGs and COADs

Long-Term Recovery Groups work within the state VOAD structure at the local level. They are usually formed in the wake of a disaster with the immediate goal of meeting unmet needs to get residents back to near-normal situations. These needs include home repair and rebuild, provision of furniture, furnishings, and appliances as well as financial and legal advice and counsel.

Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COADs) work within the State VOAD structure at the local level. This group of local community organizations work together during a disaster to provide coordination of services to ensure that unmet needs are addressed, provide financial assistance and supplies, and to share knowledge and resources with local residents during a disaster.

LTRG meetings are listed on the LTRG Calendar.
