Team Rubicon: The veteran-led force responding to disasters

Team Rubicon is often among the first organizations on the ground helping communities recover.

Team Rubicon is a veteran-led humanitarian organization that sends volunteers to respond to disasters and serve those in need.

From wildfires out west to disasters like hurricane Helene here in the southeast, team Rubicon is often among the first organizations on the ground helping communities recover.

The organization has been conducting training exercises designed to simulate the pressures and challenges of real-world disaster response.

Meteorologist Kaitlin Wright spoke with Jonathan Connors, their Director of Communications, to talk about how their team is preparing for this upcoming hurricane season.
