Their presence during Harvey was extremely valu- able . One team was able to check in with the Beaumont Sheriff’s Department, conduct an evacuation, clear two full neighborhoods, and report that 35 homes were marked clear so no additional resources would be sent to conduct search missions . They also conducted recon in numerous neighborhoods to identify needs for incoming crews that were working alongside the local fire department . •A second rescue team conducted five evacuations, in- cluding two elderly residents and their daughter . •Last, another team conducted 21 rescues and evacu- ated 27 canines at an animal shelter . Multiple teams sup- ported animal control operations throughout . In total, 89 members had been deployed to Texas, with several personnel providing support from the National Operations Center in Dallas . Team Rubicon also geared up its mass mobilization phase, deploying hundreds of volunteers to conduct a large scale clean-up effort for at least eight weeks to focus on debris removal, muck out, heavy equipment, and chainsaw operations, as well as damage assessments and expedient home repair .

  • May 7, 2020 to the MEMBERS of the UNITED STATES CONGRESS
    May 7, 2020 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS: On behalf of the undersigned chambers of commerce, civic groups, trade associations, and other non-profits, we urge you to extend eligibility for the Paycheck Protection Program to all nonprofit organizations when Congress considers the next COVID-19 emergency assistance legislation. Thousands of nonprofit organizations — including ours — were left out of the Phase 3 CARES Act and are being hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Our groups contribute to the vitality and spirit of our communities. We employ thousands of people and provide important workforce development and educational tools, economic support, and civic and cultural events. Our organizations have suffered major financial losses due to the pandemic of the type the Paycheck Protection Program was intended to alleviate. Some non-profits have already permanently closed their doors. Many more will be forced to do so without relief from Congress. The CARES Act made certain nonprofit organizations eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program. We urge Congress to extend this assistance to local chambers of commerce, civic groups, trade associations, and other non-profits so that organizations like ours can continue to provide important, community-minded services. Sincerely, National American Institute of CPAs American International Automobile Dealers Agricultural Retailers Association Association Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute American Iron and Steel Institute American Apparel & Footwear Association
