About this facility
- Mission
- ARVOAD is a humanitarian association of independent
voluntary organizations who may be active in all phases
of disaster. Its mission is to foster efficient, streamlined
service delivery to people affected by disaster, while
eliminating unnecessary duplication of effort, through
cooperation in the four phases of disaster: preparation,
response, recovery, and mitigation. ARVOAD is not a competing or exclusionary organization.
ARVOAD is intended to be a network for organizations
active in disaster. Each ARVOAD member organization
will maintain its own identity and independence while
closely collaborating with other ARVOAD member
organizations, interfaiths, and local, state, or
federal authorities. ARVOAD is not a fundraising organization. Any funds
received will be used to meet the administrative expenses
of the organization. In the event of the dissolution of
ARVOAD, any remaining funds shall be disbursed to NVOAD
Headquarters. ARVOAD accomplishes its mission by adhering to the
following principles: Cooperation: Foster cooperation among ARVOAD member
organizations at all levels and in all phases of
disaster Coordination: Coordinate the development of ARVOAD policies
and procedures, and, the implementation of services among
ARVOAD member organizations. ARVOAD may also provide links
to national and international disaster relief organizations.
ARVOAD serves as advocate and liaison between member agencies
and the State of Arkansas. Communication: Exchange and disseminate information among
ARVOAD member organizations and the public, as well as local,
state and federal agencies, in conjunction with the individual
ARVOAD members. Collaboration: We dedicate ourselves to work together to
achieve specific goals and to undertake specific projects
at disaster sites. We form partnerships during the disaster
response. - Service
