Community Organizations Active in Disaster for Monroe County (MoCOAD) helps people rebuild after a community disaster. The MoCOAD network is composed of representatives from business, faith groups, local government, and non-profit agencies.
MoCOAD helps our community mitigate, prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from large-scale disasters. In June 2008, floods devastated South Central Indiana. United Way led the Monroe County Long-Term Recovery Committee, which assisted 500 families for two years as they recovered.
In 2011, the MCLTRC transitioned into a more permanent COAD.
MoCOAD actively helps people recover from natural disasters.
MoCOAD members continually prepare to help when there is a need for long-term disaster recovery.
MoCOAD’s main functions are:
- Cooperation (creating a climate for cooperation, information and meeting together)
- Coordination (fostering a common understanding and providing a liaison with public offices)
- Communication (publishing and disseminating information)
- Education (increasing mutual awareness and understanding of each organization)
- Convening (arranging meetings, conferences, and training as necessary)
- Policy (encouraging effective disaster planning and relief policy)
