Help us support a mission that is vital to the safety, resilience, and wellbeing of the East Harlem community.

The East Harlem Community Organizations Active in Disaster (EHCOAD) is a tax-exempt, multisector coalition dedicated to one core purpose: to ensure that East Harlem is a safer, better-prepared, and more connected community before, during, and after emergencies. We strengthen the preparedness and readiness of our neighborhood by coordinating community organizations, small businesses, faith-based partners, and residents so that, together, we can respond quickly and effectively when emergencies occur.

This year, your contribution will help us:

Expand emergency readiness trainings and Go-Bag workshops
Strengthen rapid communication systems across neighborhood organizations
Build networks that ensure no resident is left behind during extreme weather, power outages, or public health emergencies

Every dollar helps us continue building a community that is informed, connected, and ready.

If you believe in a safer, more resilient East Harlem, we hope you will make a contribution to the EHCOAD. Your gift directly supports grassroots preparedness work that saves lives, protects our most vulnerable neighbors, and builds a stronger future for all who live, work, worship, learn, and play here.
