Notes
WEST COAST REGIONAL HUB -
https://teamrubiconusa.org/region/west-branch/
The West Branch is Team Rubicon’s largest and, in some ways, most demanding region. Stretching across 15 U.S. states and three Pacific territories, the West is home to diverse people and equally diverse terrains—from jungles and deserts to tundras and peaks.
And this varied geography brings the potential for equally varied disasters, too. The members of these communities come face to face with severe earthquakes, fires, landslides, and blizzards.
Many are familiar with high-profile events in this area. But many more feel the effects of low-attention disasters that camera crews often don’t cover: floods on Indian Reservations, typhoons on tropical islands, and storms in Alaska Native communities high in the Arctic. These are the people we support every day and the types of disasters that best exemplify how we serve in the West.
Due to the clear vulnerability in this region, we initially developed our fire mitigation capabilities in the West Branch and have been expanding them ever since to meet the growing needs of at-risk communities. In 2022, we added home fire risk assessments to our arsenal. These ongoing innovations have allowed us to serve the area in even more impactful ways, with particular emphasis on the before of “before, during, and after disasters.”

Team Rubicon - Assistance Request
About Team Rubicon
Team Rubicon provides post-fire sandbagging assistance as part of its disaster relief efforts to help communities affected by wildfires. After a fire, the risk of flooding or mudslides increases, particularly in areas where vegetation has been destroyed. Team Rubicon mobilizes teams of trained volunteers, often veterans, to fill and deploy sandbags to protect homes, infrastructure and critical areas from floodwaters. This assistance is crucial in reducing property damage, safeguarding residents and supporting local recovery efforts.
Requesting Assistance
To request the assistance of Team Rubicon, please complete the following questionnaire and somebody from our team will be in contact with you in the coming weeks. Please note: Due to the larger number of requests, it may take some time before you receive a response.
