Disaster Relief Training:

American Disaster Relief is based on a nationwide system called VOAD, that stands for "Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster." Each state has its own individual VOADs consisting of a variety of disaster-relief organizations such as the Salvation Army.

Texas is a big state and has several regional VOADs actively participating in disaster relief. Once Krishna Disaster Relief has been certified as a 501 (C)(3) non-profit organization on both the Federal and state level, we will begin attending VOAD meetings.

When Krishna Disaster Relief was founded in 1990, we became part of the Colorado VOAD and attended monthly meetings hosted by various VOAD organizations. The image below is a training certificate issued to Ronald E. Boutelle upon his completion of a 3-day course on Developing Volunteer Resources.
