Helping the Helpers
When It Matters Most

Supporting first responders, community partners, and families during extended emergencies with food, hydration, and aerial support.

NERVT operates as a volunteer-supported organization, providing aerial search, situational awareness, and field response capabilities during emergency incidents, disasters, and large-scale events.

Support from the community directly contributes to maintaining equipment, sustaining operational readiness, and ensuring the team can respond when requested by local agencies.
