About the team
All-volunteer nonprofit. Services at no cost.
ITI ERT is a nonprofit volunteer disaster response team. Every member donates their time, training, and equipment availability. All services — communications support, incident-command assistance, Search & Rescue coordination, and event preparedness — are provided to qualified partner agencies and the communities they serve free of charge. We are funded by Ironclad Thor Industries and by community sponsorship; we never invoice agencies, citizens, or event organizers for our deployment time.
Comms that hold. Management that scales. Support that integrates.
Emergency Response Team services are available to qualified law enforcement, fire/rescue, emergency management, and Search & Rescue agencies on a first-come, first-served basis — at no cost. Agencies with pre-existing Mutual Aid Agreements get priority.
