”Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster”
“This campaign is a community-wide disaster preparedness initiative and will build sector and community resiliency that benefits children, senior citizens, families, and single adults from all walks of life,” according to Rob Clay, Associate Director of U.S. Disaster Response for Convoy of Hope. “Helping Others Prepare for Emergencies begins in each home, school, business, and place of worship.”
