Between tornadoes, floods and hurricanes, 2017 was a record-breaking year. The Team responded to 15 communities from Pennsylvania to Texas.

First Response Team of America partnered with NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson and dozens of Lowe’s Home Improvement volunteers to jumpstart the recovery in Florida after Hurricane Irma.

Volunteers with RAM Nation joined the Team in the wake of Hurricane Harvey to help the communities of Rockport and Aransas Pass, TX.

The Team responded to more flooding in 2016 than any other type of disaster. From Houston, TX to West Virginia, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida and South Carolina, the Team responded to 12 communities over 8 months, helping families begin the daunting task of recovery.

Hurricane Matthew brought historic flooding and damaging winds to Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. The Team has been working to clear roadways, storm debris, and large trees from homes so power could be restored and communities could begin to get back on their feet.

One of the worst disasters since Super Storm Sandy, over 100,000 homes were either damaged or destroyed. Time was of the essence to remove the debris and gut homes to salvage whatever was left. Many without flood insurance faced the daunting task of cleaning up and the Team was there to lend a helping hand.
