"Our mission is to provide disaster relief support to Texas communities and a volunteer corps to support first responders in the event of fire, flood, tornado, and other natural or man-made disasters.'
A little about us...
The Lone Star Community Response Team came from the long desire of our founders (over 25 years) to create a response team that was also a close network of volunteers throughout the state.
Every person goes through life and develops skills that are necessary to endure life’s challenges. Many of us are also trained as responders in a variety of capacities, but for whatever reason some pursue careers away from their passion. This has been the case for more of us than not. In early 2019 a group of Texans where brought together. Approximately one year went by, and the time was right.
In March of 2020 we formed our organization and became a Texas registered non-profit corporation in April. We are now Lone Star Community Response Team a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit pending status with the I.R.S.
We all know that life can change in the blink of an eye during natural or man-made disasters or events. Whether the event involves one person, one community or a large area of our state, First Responders step forward and answer the call. We activate with our partner agencies and organizations through the area emergency dispatch protocol. Our members are trained in many capacities and stand in the ready to respond to any situation such as weather events, fires, floods, lost persons or even WMD’s.
Our goal is to assemble teams around the state of men and women who have the desire to step forward when called. Every person who wishes to volunteer has a place and a skill that is important to a successful mission and to our TEAM.
When these events happen, that's when the ready step forward. It doesn't matter if you are a paid professional or volunteer. What does matter is that well trained and skilled personnel answer that call. Everyone that comes in to our organization will be given the opportunity to learn skills from other members as well as attend many different schools and classes. We do not require that our members join with advanced training already in their background, what we do require of our members is to have the desire to learn and the passion to help others in their darkest times.
If you feel the need to get involved in your community and our state, we are ready to get you on our TEAM.
