The mission of the Oasis Foundation of America (OFA) is to serve as an independent philanthropy that encourages and fosters community-based readiness, response, and recovery to man-made and natural disasters. OFA empowers communities by providing vital resources needed, to be prepared for any type of disaster.

In the post Katrina and 9/11 world, the need to restructure our nation’s emergency management system is apparent. Presently, there are efforts to improve localized readiness and response by leveraging better access and control of required resources by local first responders and by increasing the coordination and interface between government agencies, non-profit organizations and the private business sector. This restructuring has exposed intrinsic voids in many community emergency management systems including the need for state and local agencies to have more immediate access to supplies. It has also exposed the need for a reliable and locally controlled communication network to keep citizens and the various public and non-profit emergency management agencies connected and informed.

By providing easier access to medical and human sustenance resources during both disaster and non-disaster times, the Oasis Foundation of America and all those who partner with it, whether it be through purchasing advertising space or contributing goods or financial support, provides for an outcome of safer and better prepared communities.
