FEMA has Voluntary Agency Liaisons (VAL) who work with Voluntary Agencies (VOLAG) to coordinate their assistance. Volunteer agencies work together at the State and national level through Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD). National VOAD can be accessed at: http://www.nvoad.org.

Some of these voluntary agencies include:

• American Red Cross (ARC)
• Salvation Army
• Mennonites
• Catholic Charities
• Southern Baptists
• Church of the Brethren
