Team Rubicon and technology in disaster response
Blog post from Box
Hurricane Florence recently caused significant destruction in the Southeastern United States, resulting in around $44 billion in damages and ranking among the top 10 costliest hurricanes in U.S. history. In response, Team Rubicon, a veteran-led nonprofit disaster response organization, has been actively involved in relief efforts, utilizing technology platforms like Box to enhance coordination, collaboration, and operational efficiency. Founded eight years ago, Team Rubicon leverages the skills of military veterans and first responders to deploy emergency response teams swiftly and effectively, with over 85,000 volunteers engaged in nearly 300 global operations. The organization uses Box to streamline processes, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and operate cost-effectively, allowing them to deploy resources efficiently as soon as a disaster is detected. Their ongoing efforts in areas still recovering from previous hurricanes demonstrate the marathon nature of disaster recovery, with technology playing a crucial role in supporting these endeavors. Team Rubicon's partnership with Box exemplifies how innovative technological solutions can transform nonprofit operations and enhance their impact on disaster-stricken communities.
