Membership
Membership in COAD-OC is accomplished through member agencies and organizations rather than individual affiliations. It is a collection of agencies and organizations that see advantage and opportunity in regular meetings and preparedness trainings to enhance disaster response and recovery activities in Orange County. Two categories of member agencies exist: "Response and Recovery" and "General."
Response & Recovery Membership
As its name suggests, the Collaborative Organizations Active in Disaster - Orange County exists to collaborate, communicate and coordinate preparedness, response, and recovery efforts in Orange County. Response and recovery organizations are those with a predefined disaster response or recovery role that provide assistance to those affected by disasters large and small.
General Membership
A general member is an organization that seeks to know more about Orange County disaster response systems, an organization seeking to ensure their services are known and integrated in a countywide recovery effort, and/or an organization seeking information about preparedness issues to ensure that their organization can best recover and respond to the challenges brought on in the aftermath of a significant disaster.
