Event Description:

The Tompkins County Department of Emergency Response in partnership with NYVOAD and the NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, invite you to the kickoff meeting of the Tompkins County Community Organizations Active in Disaster (TC COAD) on Tuesday, July 15th from 1:00pm-3:00pm at the Tompkins County Public Library BorgWarner Community Room.

Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COADs) are county-wide or multi-county coalitions that bring together government, non-profit, faith-based, and private sector organizations to enhance disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts within our communities.

COADs provide a mechanism for cooperation, communication, coordination, and collaboration amongst local organizations — the "4Cs" essential for effective disaster response and community resilience. Chartered by New York VOAD and coordinated with County Emergency Managers, COADs play a crucial role in enhancing our community's ability to respond to disasters and public health emergencies.

You have been identified as a potential COAD stakeholder. We hope you will join us for an afternoon of networking and learning as we introduce the TC COAD.

Why Attend?

· Network: Connect with local stakeholders committed to community resilience.

· Learn: Explore the VOAD movement, COAD formation process, governance structure, and how COADs enhance disaster response and foster community resilience.

· Collaborate: Explore opportunities for partnerships in disaster preparedness efforts.

Please feel free to extend this invitation to other organizations within your network who may benefit from joining our efforts.

Please RSVP by Monday, July 7th to secure your spot.

We look forward to your participation in shaping a more resilient future for Tompkins County.
