COAD: Community Organizations Active in Disaster

There are several active Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) in South Central Nebraska. A COAD is a community organization made up of representatives from public, private, volunteer and non-profit agencies and organizations who may be active in all phases of disaster: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
