Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Disaster Aid, Disaster Preparedness & Relief Services, Fire Prevention, Public Safety, Disaster Preparedness & Relief
Mission: The Emergency Volunteer Air Corps promotes and coordinates effective and useful additional General Aviation volunteer participation in emergency relief efforts, especially following disasters.
EVAC Volunteers fly to help others! During emergency situations EVAC pilots and other volunteers provide the resources of General Aviation to help affected people and communities. While such help can be organized quickly on an ad hoc basis, it is better to plan beforehand so that lines of communication are clear and available resources are already identified. In addition, operations are safer and more efficient if periodic exercises are conducted. Such events also help local emergency services agencies understand how to best utilize pilots and aircraft at their local airports, and show the entire community how General Aviation can help during emergencies. Volunteers at local airports organize self-operating chapters, which coordinate with other chapters and with their local emergency service agencies to prepare plans for service.
