Northwest Indiana COAD is a humanitarian association of voluntary organizations and individuals that coordinates disaster relief services and logistics.
We are active in all stages of emergency management: mitigation, prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. By sharing programs, policies, information, joint planning and
training, we are able to provide area-wide disaster coordination for long-term recovery.
We work with Indiana EMA District 1 Planning Committee and Northern Indiana Information Securities and Sharing Alliance (NIISSA) to coordinate disaster preparedness training and more. COAD
serves Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter and Jasper Counties.
COAD Partners can include nonprofits, education, research, government, business and faith-based organizations.
