CADRE is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization. Tax ID: 83-1035628.
Purpose
CADRE ensures Santa Clara County’s community organizations don’t work in isolation during a crisis. We connect local non-profits, faith groups, and government agencies to streamline disaster response, share vital resources, and prepare our community long before a emergency happens.
Mission
CADRE is the coordinator of Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) for Santa Clara County under California’s State VOAD. Read the County Board of Supervisors resolution recognizing the VOAD
The mission of CADRE is to strengthen coordination of the disaster response and recovery efforts of non-profit, faith-based, government, private and other disaster relief entities in Santa Clara County, through partnerships, planning, training, exercises and emergency activation.
Vision
CADRE envisions a community wherein all sectors – government, non-profit, faith-based and private industry – work together effectively and efficiently to meet the post-disaster needs of Santa Clara County residents.
To that end, all CADRE participating organizations will work together to develop and test disaster preparedness plans that clearly articulate potential roles, responsibilities and relationships necessary to achieve integrated, coordinated response and recovery efforts for all Santa Clara County communities.
