wanna know about us?

We are at our heart, a group of people who care deeply about helping others.

To support our mission, our board and members bring years of training, experience and ideas.

Our mission is to provide excellent assistance to communities in need in disasters by way of offering response services, with the goal of minimizing unnecessary stress on rural communities.

As a charity, we aim to offer our services for a donation.

The Story

Chris and I welcomed our youngest son into the world in July of 2024, and shortly after arriving home...Chris broke his knee. While both of us were recovering from our respective surgeries/injuries, we started playing with how we could attack 'the list'. Since I can remember, I have been involved in public safety. After many years of helping people, I started to build a list of everything I thought we could do better in the business of saving lives. The list was more of a concept, and its main component was to do with rural America. When it comes to small towns, its no secret that disasters hit these areas much harder than others.

We were stuck on a security issue. Modifying an enclosed trailer cuts off the people inside from the situation outside, and for the safety of the responders, it was important to have the most visualization of the scene. Slowly, we started to say "well what about a school bus"?.

A few weeks later, a 2010 (the year I graduated high school) International short bus with a handicapped accessible door rolled off a trailer from Illinois into our gravel drive.

Over the next year, we proceeded to get the shit kicked out of us- and told no enough times to give up so hard our great-grandkids quit. Somehow, Chris decided to employ his incredible will power...and his wife had a dream, so almost exactly a year later in July 2025, we found ourselves in the Guadalupe River with a bunch of strangers who would become our team.

Early on, we realized this needed to be free or as close to free as we could afford to benefit exactly the communities we are trying to help.

We leveraged everything we own and then some to finance our dream, and today we have real communities we have helped already- real families have felt our impact.

Socially in the public safety community, what were doing is too loud for most. Thinking outside the box, simplifying the grid-lock of redundancies, and bridging interoperability gaps are solutions that go against the grain of many old systems that hold small town TX back. One thing we specifically offer to help alleviate how jarring it can feel to have actual solutions, is incident command support. This strategy is meant to carry the current emergency management offices in charge of disasters successfully to the completion of disaster, and into the recovery state.

Our primary ESF or emergency support function is communications- our MEOC and equipment is built to restore emergency communications and support disaster leadership and SAR teams during a long-term event.

As a charity, we have a board of 4. Two NYS Paramedics (although, paramedicine is their LEAST impressive skill in a long list of AWESOME) complete our leadership team.

Our subcommittee, Texas Task Force SAR 25 is composed of caring Texans, and our founding members of this subcommittee formed during the deadly flooding in the Hill Country in 2025.

Chris and I are extremely proud to say we support veterans, and those with disabilities. We consider our team and board as a family, and we act accordingly.
