Capabilities & Services

Team Rubicon provides the following capabilities and services to affected communities:

Via extensive ICS training and exercises, our Command and General staff are committed to running each operation as safely and efficiently as possible, working within or without an existing response framework.

Something bad happened – but how bad was it? We get there fast to digitally analyze and record the impact on the homeowner, on the community, and on the state.

All the bad news collected is mapped and provided as public information to help a community recover. We track everything we do too, thus reducing the community's burden in recovery grants.

There’s a lot of stuff - trees, house debris, water - where it doesn’t belong. We help get things back to normal.

To prepare and reduce the impact of disasters, we get to work before disaster strikes – fire breaks, potential flood debris clearing, if it limits the impact of a disaster, name it and we’ll get it done.

When things get ugly, one of the hardest parts is prepping for the skilled labor to come in and make it pretty – we’re free, fast, and do great work.

A lot of people want to help; we help communities prepare for and effectively use the outpouring of goodwill.

TR medical professionals can augment or complement emergency medical capabilities of a community affected by a disaster. Teams can deliver emergency medical/trauma care and stabilization, provide inter-agency and emergency management coordination, and assist with the creation and organization of patient transport systems management.

TR medical teams can re-establish primary healthcare for chronic conditions and preventable diseases and coordinate care for complex medical conditions.

Team Rubicon deploys equipped with all the resources required to provide the capabilities above including:

Personal protective equipment
Hand tools
Solar-powered electrical suites
Data analysis and mapping suites (mobile and static platforms)
Heavy equipment
Sawyer teams

All incident management personnel are trained in the application of Incident Command System (ICS) in compliance with the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Volunteers are trained in the basics of ICS. Team Rubicon deploys as a self-sustaining unit.

Team Rubicon has responded to numerous natural disasters across the United States. The flexibility of our organization allows us to operate in two distinct ways:

Tactical Branch, Single Resource Unit, or Task Force

Team Rubicon can work under the direction of a governmental entity or agency (based on requested function) and integrate fully into an existing Incident Command System structure to perform disaster response functions.

Non-Government Organization (NGO)

Team Rubicon is a voting member of the National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (NVOAD). Team Rubicon can integrate into national, state, or community VOAD efforts to provide its services to survivors, free of charge.
