When it has been decided that your community will develop a collaboration to partner
the efforts of emergency management with the efforts of the voluntary agency
community, the following steps are suggested. There is additional guidance provided
on developing a VOAD at the NOVAD website: www.nvoad.org.
Step 1: Start now. Don’t wait for a disaster to happen to establish a VOAD.
Step 2: Establish contacts.
• Meet with your local American Red Cross Disaster Services Representative to
discuss your desire to develop a VOAD. The American Red Cross has
Statements of Understanding with over 70 disaster responding agencies. Your
American Red Cross may have already established a sound foundation for a
VOAD.
• If you do not have a local American Red Cross, make a list of agencies in your
community that may be willing to assist in emergency management. From this
list, choose three or four that you think would be willing to help you plan an
initial meeting.
Step 3: Prepare for an initial meeting.
• Discuss the goals for the initial meeting with your agency representatives.
• Draft the purpose of the VOAD.
• Prepare an invitee list, focusing on agencies that can assist in emergency
management.

A PPENDIX :CS SPET F RO D EVELOPING DAO VA
Step 4: Develop an agenda for the initial meeting. Include the following items.
• Welcome and introductions.
• Introduction of the emergency management program in your area.
• Introduction to the role of FEMA in emergency management.
• VOAD briefing.
• Discussion about the need to establish collaboration, emphasizing the benefits
that collaboration would bring to your community. See Unit Four: Working
Together for more information on the benefits of coordination.
• Discussion of the roles and responsibilities of the voluntary agency community,
local emergency management, and FEMA throughout the entire emergency
management cycle. See Unit Three: Roles and Services of Disaster Relief
Voluntary Agencies for specific information on what activities voluntary agencies
perform in each phase of emergency management.
• Establishment of a Planning Committee.
• Closing remarks.
Step 5: Send out invitations.
• Address the invitations to the senior management of each agency.
• Include a letter explaining the purpose of the meeting and the need to establish
a community collaboration.
• Call to confirm that the invitations are received and to inquire about who will
attend the meeting.
Step 6: Conduct the initial meeting.
• Ask a representative from the local emergency management agency or one of
the voluntary agency representatives to chair the first meeting.
• Take notes during the meeting.
• Establish a Planning Committee to draft guidelines for membership criteria,
draft the VOAD’s mission and goals, and develop a list of priority issues that
need to be addressed by the member agencies.

Step 7: Follow up on the meeting.
• Send out minutes of the meeting to all attendees.
• Schedule the next meeting
• Invite agencies to attend the next meeting.
• Encourage agencies to bring to the next meeting additional agencies that might
have a role to play in the VOAD.
Step 8: Convene the newly-formed Planning Committee.
Step 9: Don’t give up!
