When Disaster Strikes, Larimer VOAD Responds in an Emergency
Larimer VOAD works very closely with Larimer County during an emergency. The Larimer VOAD is considered an Emergency Support Function of Larimer County's Office of Emergency Management. When disaster strikes Larimer County that requires a full activation of emergency efforts, the VOAD will act as the coordinating agency to meet unmet needs and volunteer resources to support county response.
All local, regional and national VOAD members and citizens who wish to volunteer or provide resources should coordinate through the Larimer VOAD.
This partnership has been formally outlined in the county's new Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan that was adopted by the Larimer County Commissioners in February, 2015. The Larimer VOAD is ESF-6c in the plan. When activated, the Larimer VOAD also has a seat in the county's Emergency Operations Center (EOC.)
