Coordination Tools

Software and templates for managing disaster response. From volunteer scheduling to case management, these are the tools that work in the field.

Volunteer Management

When 200 people show up to help, you need a system to register them, match skills, and deploy them effectively.

Galaxy Digital

Enterprise pricing (typically $500-2000/mo)

Full-featured volunteer management platform used by large nonprofits and government agencies. Overkill for most LTRs but worth considering for major disasters with existing enterprise contracts.

SignUpGenius

Free tier available | $12-50/mo for more features

Simple sign-up sheets. Good for small-scale coordination, but lacks the tracking and reporting features LTRs typically need for grant compliance.

Case Management

Track survivor cases from intake through recovery. Know who needs what, what resources are available, and prevent duplication.

CAN (Coordinated Assistance Network)

Varies by region

Multi-agency database for coordinating disaster assistance. Prevents duplication across agencies. Check if your state VOAD uses it.

Spreadsheets

Free

Google Sheets or Excel. Works in a pinch, but quickly becomes unmanageable. Security and privacy concerns with survivor data. Not recommended for more than 50 cases.

Need Help Choosing?

Every disaster is different. A small tornado with 50 affected families has different needs than a major hurricane with 5,000. We're happy to talk through what makes sense for your situation.

No sales pitch—we'll recommend what actually works, even if it's not our software.
