Team Rubicon is an international non-government organization specializing in disaster response.

History

Team Rubicon was formed in January 2010 following the Haiti earthquake, when William McNulty and Jacob "Jake" Wood [1] [2] led a medical team into Port-au-Prince three days after the earthquake. The first Team Rubicon was an initial team of eight. They gathered funds and medical supplies from friends and family and flew into the Dominican Republic. They rented a truck, loaded their gear, and headed west to Haiti. The team treated thousands of patients, traveling to camps deemed "too dangerous" by other aid organizations. They ventured outside the traditional scale of disaster response, focusing on those who would be overlooked and left untreated. [3] [4]

That experience was the beginning of Team Rubicon. [5] Team Rubicon wanted to solve two problems: (1) Inadequate disaster response which is often slow to respond, has an antiquated infrastructure and is not using the best technological solutions or well-trained members, and (2) inadequate veteran reintegration into civilian life. Military veterans' training, skills, and experience make them well suited to disaster response while helping others can promote healing and community to alleviate some of the reintegration issues that drive a high suicide rate among veterans. [1]

The death of fellow Rubicon member Clay Hunt from suicide redoubled Team Rubicon's organizational mission towards veteran reintegration. The team's role in domestic disasters is both to provide humanitarian assistance and to provide veterans an opportunity to continue to serve. [1] [6]

The name "Rubicon" is from the phrase "crossing the Rubicon," an idiom to mean passing a point of no return. [7] The red and dark brown logo is made up of a sideways cross, a traditional symbol of first aid but here on its side as a departure from the traditional, with a river running through the logo, as a symbol of the gap between disasters and disaster relief.

Wood and his work with Team Rubicon were profiled alongside fellow vet Eric Greitens and The Mission Continues founder as the subject of Time columnist Joe Klein's 2015 book, Charlie Mike. [8] [9]

J.J. Watt, defensive end for the Houston Texans, raised an unexpected $37 million towards the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts, [10] and so consulted SBP, a disaster relief organization based in New Orleans, and Team Rubicon for how to best spend the funds. [11]

Scope of work

Since the Haiti earthquake, Team Rubicon has deployed on over 500 operations including international operations in Pakistan (2010 Pakistan floods), Chile (2010 Chile tsunami), Burma (2010 Thai-Burma border conflict), Sudan, Ecuador, Nepal, Greece, and Turkey and Hurricane Dorian [12] in the Bahamas.

Domestically, Team Rubicon has responded to large-scale disasters such as Hurricane Matthew, Hurricane Irene, Tropical Storm Debby, Hurricane Isaac, Hurricane Sandy, [13] the tornado destruction of Moore, Oklahoma., [14] [15] Hurricane Maria, [16] Hurricane Florence, [17] and Hurricane Michael. [18] In 2019, Team Rubicon's Operation Heartlander responded to Winter Storm Ulmer that caused widespread damage across the American Midwest and provided assistance in eastern Nebraska, [19] western Iowa, [20] and on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. [21]

Many of Team Rubicon's hundreds of responses are to more localized disasters such as catastrophic snowstorms, [22] smaller tornadoes, [23] and flooding. [24] [25]

With the onset of the COVID-19 epidemic, Team Rubicon USA expanded its operational focus to include feeding programs in conjunction with Food Lifeline and Feeding America and Meals on Wheels and to take individual initiative, called "Neighbors Helping Neighbors", to safely assist their fellow community members. [26]

Team Rubicon also conducts wildfire mitigation operations that both serve as training opportunities and help protect vulnerable communities by removing potential fuels. [27] [28] [29]

In 2018 Team Rubicon became the first non-governmental organization in North America to receive WHO Emergency Medical Team Type 1 Mobile certification. [30]

In 2021 and thereafter, Team Rubicon supported Afghan refugees who came to the U.S. following the 2021 Kabul airlift. [31]

Leadership

In 2013, General (Ret.) David Petraeus joined Team Rubicon's Board of Advisors. [32] [33] Petraeus promoted the work of veteran reintegration, citing its importance to soldiers returning from war. [34]

Three years later, in 2016, civil rights expert Ehsan Zaffar joined the Board of Advisors. [35]

Additional high-profile advisors are General Stanley McChrystal, USA (Ret.) and former New York Stock Exchange CEO Duncan Niederauer, who serves on the board of directors. [3] General James T. Conway, USMC (Ret.) and Lt Gen Russel L. Honoré, USA (Ret.) as well as private sector business people Andy Bessette from Travelers Insurance, Jeff Dailey, CEO of Farmers Group, Gregg Lemkau from Goldman Sachs, John Pitts from Kirkland & Ellis, Richard Serino, former Deputy Administrator of FEMA, and Jeff Smith from FedEx serve as advisors to Team Rubicon. Many are former military or have logistical expertise that helps guide Team Rubicon. [36] [37]

Additional high-profile supporters are former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton. [38] [39] The George W. Bush Center included Team Rubicon as one of the case studies in its research on veteran serving nonprofits (VSNP). [40] [41]

In July 2021, Team Rubicon Cofounder and then-current CEO Jake Wood stepped into an Executive Chairman role. Jake left the CEO position and then-current COO Art delaCruz stepped into the CEO position. "Team Rubicon Cofounder and CEO Jake Wood Steps into Executive Chairman Role and President and COO Art delaCruz Elevated to Chief Executive Officer".

Some international chapters of Team Rubicon were detached and re-organized into independent organizations with the same mission. For example, Team Rubicon's Norway chapter became "Response Norway". [42]

Partnerships

Team Rubicon is or has partnered with many US corporations to support its mission including (list is not complete):

Clay Hunt Fellows Program

The Clay Hunt Fellows Program is a leadership development fellowship created by Team Rubicon. [55] It is named after Clay Hunt, one of the original members of Team Rubicon who suffered from PTSD and depression and committed suicide in 2011. [56] [57] It was founded in 2013 as a 12 month program, but has since been changed to a 6 month program. [58] [59] On February 12, 2015, a veteran suicide prevention bill, the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act or the Clay Hunt SAV "Suicide Prevention for American Veterans" Act, named in his honor, became law. [60] [61]

Television show

In 2023, a Team Rubicon show aired on The Roku Channel, hosted by Kevin O'Connor. [62]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Federal Emergency Management Agency</span> United States disaster response agency

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), initially created under President Jimmy Carter by Presidential Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978 and implemented by two Executive Orders on April 1, 1979. The agency's primary purpose is to coordinate the response to a disaster that has occurred in the United States and that overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities. The governor of the state in which the disaster occurs must declare a state of emergency and formally request from the President that FEMA and the federal government respond to the disaster. The only exception to the state's gubernatorial declaration requirement occurs when an emergency or disaster takes place on federal property or to a federal asset—for example, the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, or the Space Shuttle Columbia in the 2003 return-flight disaster.

Operation Blessing International Relief and Development Corporation (OBI) is an Evangelical Christian organization headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States.
