Membership Information

Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of Santa Barbara County Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (SBC-VOAD). Through our joined forces, we will promote preparedness and safety and will strive to meet our four principles:

  • COOPERATION - Forster cooperation among members at all levels and in all phases of a disaster.

  • COORDINATION - Coordinate the development of our policies and procedures and the implementation of services among our members. SBC-VOAD will serve as an advocate and liaison between members, the Emergency Operations Center, and local government first responders.​

  • COMMUNICATION – Exchange and disseminate information among members, the public, local, state, and federal agencies, in conjunction with the individual VC-VOAD members.​
