Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster

The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency works closely with the Tennessee Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (TNVOAD) to organize both volunteers and donations for areas that are impacted by disasters and emergencies.

Please note, while local communities appreciate the volunteer spirit during disasters and emergencies, it is important to refrain from sending resources that have not been requested by state or local authorities.  

Local and regional organizations can also be found on the Tennessee VOAD website. Please visit Tennessee VOAD at www.TNVOAD.org.

The National VOAD coalition includes over 50 of the country's most reputable national organizations (faith-based, community-based and other non-governmental organizations) and 55 State/Territory VOADs, which represent Local/Regional VOADs and hundreds of other member organizations throughout the country.
