About STORM Search & Rescue

Welcome to S.T.O.R.M. (Specialized Tactical Operations Relief Mobilization Team), a dynamic and patriotic non-profit founded by veterans dedicated to making a difference. Our vision is a world where communities stand firm against disasters, bolstered by swift relief efforts, sustainable housing, and eco-friendly food production that ensures long-term recovery and growth.


Our mission is clear: to provide immediate, efficient relief during disasters, alleviate short-term suffering, and empower communities to actively participate in their recovery. We achieve this through innovative solutions in sustainable housing and food production.


At S.T.O.R.M., our motto, "Num Custos Fratris" ("Our Brothers' Keeper"), guides us in uplifting and empowering individuals through disaster relief training and educational resources. We harness the power of local volunteers and forge strong partnerships with non-profits, corporate charity foundations, and humanitarian groups, all united in our higher purpose of service and resilience. Join us in our mission to create a safer, stronger future for all, where communities are resilient and disasters are no longer a threat.
