Purpose

The purpose of the Redmond COAD is to advocate for and promote a coordinated countywide disaster preparedness planning initiative that aims to integrate human services agencies and faith-based organizations into the county’s disaster preparedness system. The initial focus of the committee is to support the design and adoption of standardized disaster plans that ensure common response goals and written coordination and communication procedures, linking those agencies to the city and county's Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.

The Redmond COAD ensures that the community has a better understanding of the organization including its various strike teams and assisting with the local media.
