notes: POST FROM WEBSITE 5/09 2009 Spring Flooding Donate Dog Food AKVOAD Establishes Spring Flood Donations Management System Anchorage, Alaska - Alaska Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (AKVOAD) established donation collection points in Anchorage and Eagle River. People who want to help victims of the recent flooding are asked to call one of their local Adventist Community Services (ACS) donation points and ask what items have been requested by the communities. “Alaskans can be very generous when other Alaskans are in need. We have established a system that will ensure that when an item is donated it is delivered to someone that needs that item,” said Richard Whetsell, chairperson for AKVOAD. “One challenge of donations management is to avoid providing unneeded assistance to one community while another community goes without.” Cash donations are the most effective way to directly help those in need. Cash donations can be made at any Alaska USA Federal Credit Union. Make donations to Donations Account 2009 Spring Flooding, Account #118722. The money will be used by the Alaska Long Term Recovery Committee, which is a cooperative effort between volunteer organizations to address unmet disaster recovery needs.

SEE WEBSITE FOR LINKS TO DONATE! -> 2010 Gulf Oil Spill NVOAD Sitrep 6/16/10 The Alaska VOAD has taken the initiative to hold two conference calls to share the lessons they learned from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. The Alaska VOAD Chair and Vice-Chair have moderated these conversations which have included topics surrounding the long-term implications of an oil spill and the emotional impact on the community. The in-depth question-and-answer period allowed listeners from the Gulf Coast region to ask more specific questions of the panelists and, hopefully, prepare themselves for some of what they may face in the coming months. =================== POST FROM WEBSITE 5/09 2009 Spring Flooding Donate Dog Food AKVOAD Establishes Spring Flood Donations Management System Anchorage, Alaska - Alaska Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster (AKVOAD) established donation collection points in Anchorage and Eagle River.
