Disaster response and humanitarian assistance is in constant refinement. What separates Team Rubicon is its ability to unite the skills and experiences of military veterans with medical professionals to deploy vanguard teams that bridge the gap between catastrophe and conventional aid response.

To help with establishing best practices in disaster response, Team Rubicon has had the pleasure of establishing a working relationship with Sustainable Technologies, Accelerated Research, Transportable Infrastructures, for Development and Emergency Support (STAR-TIDES), a research project which is “dedicated to open-source knowledge sharing to promote sustainable support to populations under severe stress post-war, post-disaster, or impoverished, in foreign or domestic context, for short-term or long-term (multi-year) operations.”

The STAR-TIDES team has a wealth of academic and field experience and is specifically focused on streamlining communications and operations between civil, military, NGO, and IO organizations operating in these environments. Team Rubicon is excited about being able to avail itself to the STAR-TIDES project.
