Following the March 2025 Northern Michigan Ice Storm, downed trees blocked an accessibility ramp at the home of an elderly couple with mobility challenges, leaving them unable to safely leave their residence. Team Rubicon, a veteran-led humanitarian organization specializing in disaster response, stepped in to clear the debris and restore access to the ramp, helping the couple regain a safe way in and out of their home.

This , we recognize Team Rubicon and the many partners who work alongside emergency managers to support Michigan communities before, during and after disasters.
