Prepare smarter. Respond stronger. Protect what matters.
Prepare for the Storm is a NDTA North Texas event hosted at UNT at Frisco March 11-13
This three-day experience blends real-world response stories, expert-led discussions, and FEMA-certified training to move beyond theory and into action.
From frontline perspectives shared by first responders and disaster-response organizations to practical tools you can apply immediately, this event is designed to strengthen how organizations prepare, respond, and protect their people before, during, and after extreme weather events.
Attendance is flexible—participants may attend the NDTA conference, one or both training days, or any combination that fits their schedule.

Kerrville First Responders
In July 2025, Kerrville first responders answered the call during devastating flooding that impacted their community and surrounding areas. Police, fire, and emergency response personnel worked tirelessly under extreme conditions to conduct search and rescue operations, support recovery efforts, and protect lives when it mattered most.
NDTA North Texas and the University of North Texas are honored to recognize the courage, professionalism, and selfless service demonstrated by Kerrville’s first responders during this critical event. Their dedication and leadership exemplify the very best of public service and community resilience.

Team Rubicon
Team Rubicon is a veteran-led humanitarian organization that serves communities before, during, and after disasters. Founded in 2010 by U.S. Marine Corps veteran Jake Wood following the Haiti earthquake, Team Rubicon was built on the belief that decisive action saves lives—and that communities are strongest when people step forward to help.
With a nationwide presence and deep roots in Texas, Team Rubicon has supported countless disaster response and recovery operations across the state, mobilizing thousands of trained volunteers—known as Greyshirts—to assist with emergency response, recovery, and rebuilding efforts. Their work brings speed, structure, and compassion to communities facing some of their most challenging moments.
Those interested in supporting Team Rubicon’s mission are encouraged to click the Team Rubicon image to the right to learn more about how to donate, volunteer as a Greyshirt, or support disaster response efforts in Texas and across the country.
