My friends are here too,” Fournier said, as he sat on a cot in the Team Rubicon New Bern Incident Command Center a week after the hurricane ravaged the area.

In an effort to make Puerto Rican homes more resilient to future hurricanes and earthquakes, Team Rubicon partnered with Mercy Corps and Build Change for a two-day workshop on December 10 and 12 to teach homeowners how to reinforce their existing homes through a variety of methods. The two-day training included a full day of theory, instruction, and discussion in a classroom, followed by a full day of hands-on practice on one fortunate participant’s residence. Ramery, from Mercy Corps, expressed his delight with the whole workshop, calling the homeowners who were there to learn and then implement changes “hard workers” and he said he was “very happy working with Team Rubicon and Building Change. While this was the first workshop for the Team Rubicon, Mercy Corps and Build Change  collaboration, Joe Kaye, the head of TR’s rebuilding training program, attended the two-day event to check out the curriculum, the execution and the results to determine if there are ways to deploy similar trainings in other locations in Puerto Rico and around the globe, according to Venables, as there is an enormity of need.

Surrounded by million dollar homes with yachts, Team Rubicon volunteers met with a 72-year-old veteran battling cancer named Raymond Cooper who needed help with his home. This veteran lived in a small, maybe 40 or 50-year-old, blue and white trailer, one of a handful on Yacht Road surrounded by million dollar homes. Soon after our team leader made calls to others and a roof sealant and drip edge supplies were then purchased from the local Home Depot. He had the drip edge in one roof of the mobile home and the roof sealant right next to his couch.
