The Montgomery County COAD is a collaborative effort of community stakeholders whose goal will be to organize and deploy community resources in an efficient and timely manner during each phase of a disaster.

An essential piece of forming a COAD is to ensure that all traditional and nontraditional disaster response agencies and organizations are invited to the table. Any organization that provides assistance during a disaster or would like to provide assistance is invited to join COAD.This includes any agency, business, non-profit, civic group, faith based organization, and any other community organization that may provide assistance to the community during a disaster. If your organization is interested, please reach out to Joseph Corona, at for more information.
