This is not an official Team Rubicon Canada page. Nothing here should be construed as any indicator of how Team Rubicon Canada prioritizes or runs its operations.
Fitting into Operations
This site presents information intended for “Wave 0” Greyshirts. It is further tailored to assist those working in strike teams or at Forward Operating Bases closer to the affected areas.
All information is drawn from official but publicly available sources. This has two benefits. First, its coming from somewhere reliable and credible. Second, it can be shared with other organizations involved in the Incident Command Structure without worrying about clearances, permissions, or giving out access to networks.
The information here would, if applicable, be flowed into the EMS system. This brings it into the TRC normal information flows supporting operations. That is intended to ensure that we don’t end up creating streams of information that confuse people or make things more complex.
