Power outages are widespread, few traffic lights are working, cell phones are useless and landlines are down. The only way to get information is with a battery powered, emergency radio.  This is what may happen after the inevitable.  Are you prepared?  Most people working and living in the Redmond Community are not.

We, the Redmond COAD (Community Organizations Active in Disaster, Recovery Focus), exist to help organize & deploy resources in an effective and timely manner in response to the unmet people-needs during the recovery phase following a disaster.  Simply stated we are a “match-maker”.  We connect those in need with those with available resources.  We want to inform the Redmond community what organizations will be available for them following a disaster. 

In the event of an actual disaster, the members of COAD will meet at one of the local Redmond Red Cross Shelters or at the Overlake Christian Church. The exact location of the COAD will be determined by the condition and location of the Red Cross Shelters.
