From Long Island, New York, the First Response Team is positioned for rapid response to hurricanes hitting the east coast, and the snow and ice storms prevalent in northeastern states.
From Knoxville, Tennessee, equipment is pre-positioned to cover Tornado Alley in the Midwest, hurricanes on the east and gulf coasts, and snowstorms to the north.
Our temporary housing stations in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Pennsylvania are essential locales that increase the overall efficiency of on-going operations.
In responding to multiple disasters in California, Oregon and Washington State, our team has seen firsthand the great need in adding a third rapid response cell for the West Coast.
Donations are tax-deductible.

About The First Response Team
When natural disasters strike, several critical days can pass before local authorities or federal agencies can begin to assess the damage, and start the daunting tasks of restoring order and establishing rescue and recovery operations. People in desperate need are left stranded, alone, and in danger.
First Response Team of America deploys nationwide to assist communities in the first critical hours when safety is of premium importance. Using heavy equipment and advanced technology, we identify and access disaster sites throughout the United States, bringing help and hope to our neighbors in need.
The First Response Team of America is a passionate group of men and women with a proven record of accomplishment and commitment to providing the critical expertise, equipment, and resources required to reach those overwhelmed by the devastation. We are “Helping Heroes be Heroes” by removing the initial obstacles that local emergency and government officials encounter when dealing with a natural or manmade disaster.
We accomplish this by directly supporting regional first responders with uniquely designed state-of-the-art disaster response equipment and the experienced work force needed to:
Open critical roadways blocked by debris and power lines
Help restart and mobilize critical service centers such as hospitals, ambulance companies, fire departments, state troopers barracks and nursing homes.
Provide temporary power solutions using industrial generators.
Connect first responders through satellite technology. (phones, internet, GPS locators)
Perform water rescues using specialized watercraft.
Supply commercial water pumps to empty out low-lying areas of cities.
We are able to mobilize rapidly. Our uniquely engineered equipment and experienced teams are a welcome resource to the officials who have locked down communities and restricted entry due to storm-related safety hazards. As roads are cleared, temporary power is provided to critical service and command centers. The First Response Team is then positioned and equipped to provide immediate assistance and restoration to the individuals and families hardest hit by the natural disaster, without remuneration. Our desire is to provide immediate help and hope to all people in the wake of devastating natural disasters regardless of race, religion, creed, color, gender or financial status.
Our Mission
The First Response Team of America believes the real heroes in disaster response are the local emergency and government officials. Our mission is to provide pre-positioned specialized heavy equipment and advanced technological communication systems for the purpose of being an immediate source of help and hope to communities and their leaders, helping heroes be heroes.
