Help communities create defensible space and reduce fuel near homes.
Reduce wildfire losses where risk is highest by helping communities take practical steps before fire season: defensible space, brush clearance, and readiness work in the WUI. This strategy supports deployments and storytelling that makes mitigation visible and normalizes ongoing local participation.
Why this works
Details coming soon.
Team Rubicon
Tax-deductibleVeteran-led disaster response and wildfire mitigation with trained volunteer crews.
Team Rubicon is a veteran-led disaster response nonprofit that also conducts wildfire mitigation (defensible space, fuels reduction) and post-fire recovery. Trained volunteer crews deliver rapid, professional field operations in partnership with communities and agencies.
Mechanism
How Team Rubicon uses funding

- Coordinate with local fire districts and community wildfire coalitions to scope and schedule deployments.
- Deploy trained crews to complete brush clearance, defensible space, and related mitigation work.
- Provide simple, repeatable guidance so homeowners can maintain defensible space over time.
- Publish updates and stories tied to decision windows to keep readiness and funding durable.
