More than a month after atmospheric rivers wreaked havoc across the state and in the Bay Area, the clean-up effort continues in Santa Cruz County.
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY -- More than a month after atmospheric rivers wreaked havoc across the state and in the Bay Area, the clean-up effort continues.
"I was searching for something to reconnect to the world and have been searching for quite a long time," said Warren. Bound to a wheelchair, 91-year-old Marty Schulman desperately needed help as the Soquel Creek turned into a raging river. It flooded his home and piled up mounds of mud, making it impossible for him to get around his house.
A friend's social media post about this team of mostly veterans helped him realize what he was missing.Warren jumped into action as Team Rubicon answered Marty's call for help. The organization has been deploying volunteers and responding to natural disasters for more than a decade. "We go in and help people on their worst day. Give them some hope that people care about you and here to do what we can for you," said Team Rubicon volunteer James Young.
