Southern Brooklyn Community Organizations Active in Disaster (Southern Brooklyn COAD) is a coalition of nonprofit, faith-based, and community-based organizations working together to prepare residents of Southern Brooklyn for the impacts of emergencies and disasters and to coordinate local, community-based response and recovery efforts.

Our members serve six different Southern Brooklyn Neighborhoods:
