Rapid Response Services
When a tornado, hurricane, flood, or wildfire strikes an area in the United States, one of our 22 nationwide Rapid Response teams is on standby to investigate damages within 24 hours. If cleanup help is needed, they coordinate volunteers to help within 48 hours. Cleanup projects include cutting up trees, cleaning up debris, tearing out soggy insulation, and putting tarps on damaged roofs.
