A steady stream of support allows us to be more aggressive when responding to disasters, and to deploy more veterans and resources when needed. Joining the Support Squad means you’re personally invested in Team Rubicon’s mission. As such, we try to make sure you’re up-to-speed on all disaster operations and organizational updates.
