Disaster Tech Response Team - Jacksonville, FL

When disaster strikes, communities need more than food and water — they need to communicate, coordinate, and recover.

The Information Technology Disaster Resource Center (ITDRC) deploys teams of volunteer technology professionals to disaster-affected communities across the United States. We restore internet connectivity, set up temporary communications infrastructure, and provide technical support to families, nonprofits, and emergency responders on the ground — often within 24–48 hours of a declared disaster.

What You'll Do

Depending on your skills and availability, you may:

• Deploy or support temporary Wi-Fi and network infrastructure in disaster-impacted areas
• Provide remote or on-site IT support to displaced residents and relief organizations
• Help set up device charging stations, computer labs, or communications hubs
• Assist with cybersecurity, data recovery, or systems administration for affected enterprises
• Contribute remotely to logistics, coordination, project management, or documentation

Who We're Looking For

We welcome Tech Professionals of all backgrounds, including:

• Network Engineers and Systems Administrators
• Cybersecurity Professionals
• Web Developers and Software Engineers
• Help Desk and Tech Support Specialists
• Project Managers and Operations leads with a tech background

No two deployments are the same — your skills will be matched to real needs in the field.

Flexible, On Your Terms

ITDRC is a fully volunteer-driven organization. You choose when and how you serve. Deployments can be remote or on-site, short-term or extended. We work around your schedule, your expertise, and your capacity.

Training is provided. New volunteers receive orientation and onboarding so you're prepared before your first deployment.

Join thousands of volunteers nationwide who are using their tech skills to rebuild lives after disaster. Visit ITDRC.org to learn more and apply.
