About UCAN

An Oklahoma organization built on the belief that communities are stronger when people work together.

Our purpose

Ordinary people. Meaningful action.

Unified Citizen Action Network, Inc. (UCAN) is an independent nonprofit citizen organization focused on preparedness, volunteer support, and community service throughout Oklahoma.

Our activities may include severe weather observation, disaster-related community assistance, search support, emergency communications, post-disaster small-animal assistance, and volunteer education—subject to training, safety, resources, and coordination.

We believe that a willingness to help, paired with responsible preparation, can make a lasting difference.
