Organization Intake Survey
Led by the Boone County Office of Emergency Management (BCOEM) and the Heart of Missouri United Way, the Boone County Community Organizations Active in Disaster (COAD) is a collaborative network of organizations committed to supporting Boone County before, during, and after disasters.
The Boone County COAD is open to all community organizations, nonprofits, businesses, faith-based groups, and more, who are seeking to support Boone County residents during disasters. You/your organization are not required to have previous disaster relief experience to participate.
The purpose of the COAD group is to:
- Introduce organizations to the basics of emergency management and preparedness.
- Assist in developing strong working relationships between participating organizations and the local emergency managers prior to a disaster.
- Increase community resilience through preparedness initiatives, including planning, training, and exercises, while strengthening coordination and contributing to Boone County’s overall disaster recovery framework.
If your organization is willing and able to participate in Boone County's COAD, please fill out the survey questions below. Only one person from your organization has to fill out this survey.
The introductory COAD meeting will take place on October 2nd, 2026, from 12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. in the Les Wagner Community Room, located at 2700 W. Ash Street Columbia, MO 65203. Lunch will be served.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
