In the wake of Hurricane Isaias, our Greyshirt volunteers have brought their skills, compassion, and commitment to communities impacted by the storm.

Every hour volunteered and every home helped is a step toward recovery. Bravo Zulu to the Greyshirts who stand alongside communities when they need it most.

Built to serve. Ready to work.

As Tropical Storm Rachel brought high surf and localized flooding to Southern California, the City of Newport Beach called on Team Rubicon for support.

Over the weekend, two dozen Greyshirt volunteers prepared more than 2,000 sandbags to help the community defend against rising water.

When disaster threatens, it’s neighbors helping neighbors. Local officials, community members, and Greyshirts working side by side to protect homes, prepare for what’s next, and look out for one another.

Happy 251st Birthday to the U.S. Navy!

For Nika, six years in the U.S. Navy helped shape not only her career, but the leader she is today.

As an Aviation Structural and Hydraulic Mechanic (AM3), her time in service reinforced the importance of teamwork, communication, accountability, and understanding how every role contributes to the mission.

Those lessons continue to guide her today at Team Rubicon, where she now serves as Long-Term Recovery Manager.

Nika says, "Whether you're turning wrenches on an aircraft or helping a family rebuild after a disaster, the mission is never accomplished by one person alone. It's the collective effort, shared knowledge, and willingness to grow together that makes it possible. That's something I carried out of the Navy and continue to value every day at Team Rubicon."

On the Navy's birthday, we celebrate the experiences, lessons, and people who continue to make an impact long after the uniform comes off.

Our route clearance teams have already removed 54 obstructions in and around Milton, Florida, helping reopen roads, provide access for utility crews, and support critical community services.

Beginning tomorrow, we’re expanding our relief efforts in Milton and throughout Santa Rosa County.

Our work is just beginning, and we’ll continue to adapt our response to meet the needs on the ground.

Hurricane Isaias tore through the Gulf Coast this weekend, bringing down trees and power lines from Alabama to the Florida Panhandle.

Greyshirt volunteers are on the ground in communities across the Gulf, clearing roads so first responders and families can get through.

In hard-hit Milton, Florida, Greyshirts cleared 27 obstructions on Saturday alone.

But the work isn't over. We’re working with local authorities to identify where our teams are needed next. As communities assess the damage, there is more work ahead.

Hurricane Isaias is approaching the Gulf Coast, and Greyshirt volunteers are already moving.

Reconnaissance teams have deployed to Alabama and Florida, ready to survey impacted areas and assess where help is needed once immediate danger has passed.

Meanwhile, Route Clearance Teams are staged in Florida ahead of landfall. These specialized teams bring sawyers and heavy equipment operators ready to clear debris from routes and restore access to critical services.

Tropical Storm Isaias has formed in the Gulf of Mexico and is rapidly organizing, bringing heavy rain, flooding, and tropical-storm conditions toward the U.S. Gulf Coast.

As the storm tracks north, Team Rubicon is actively monitoring the path, readying equipment, and preparing Greyshirt volunteers for rapid deployment.

If you are in the path of Isaias, monitor local forecasts, review your emergency preparedness plans, and stay safe.

Meet Kendall, a brand-new Greyshirt volunteer who deployed on her very first operation in Uvalde, Texas.

Being a Greyshirt means stepping into the aftermath when families are facing their hardest days. It's early mornings, hard physical work, and sweat, but it’s also unmatched camaraderie, instant community, and the unforgettable feeling of putting hope back into someone's hands. No matter your background, if you have the drive to serve, there’s a spot for you on the team.
