Veterans Response
Veterans Response
is a team of veterans and first responders dedicated to serving communities affected by hurricanes, fires, floods, and other natural and manmade disasters. They specialize in bringing clean water, food, reliable communication, and other vital relief needs to those communities, giving them the tools and support they need to rebuild. The organization has secured a relationship with a Walmart on the island to secure tents, air mattresses, and other supplies they need; eliminating having to ship items to the island at increased costs. A grant of $2,500 allowed the team to establish a 10 tent camp where 40-60 residents can be set up comfortably until damage is fully assessed and plans for them are made.
Ray Guasp, Executive Director, has an alpha and bravo team (1 & 2) on the island setting up camps for residents and he is already in Puerto Rico himself to coordinate more teams for relief efforts.
