Reskube Supports Coral Gables in Disaster Response Efforts During Hurricane Helene

Reskube is proud to have played a key role in empowering Coral Gables’ emergency response teams during Hurricane Helene. The hurricane, which struck the Tampa, Florida region in October 2024, left neighbourhoods isolated as power and communication lines were destroyed. Reskube’s rapid deployment units enhanced the continuous operations and connectivity for Coral Gables’ rescue and reconnaissance teams during this challenging time.

As Coral Gables mobilised to aid affected communities, their emergency teams faced the immense challenge of maintaining power and reliable communication in the midst of devastation. With lives and safety on the line, the city needed a solution that was fast, dependable, and portable.

Reskube units were deployed to Coral Gables’ Mobile Command Units, bolstering the continuous operation of vital communications. With hybrid satcoms and 4G connectivity, Reskube kept communications open for real-time updates, enabling effective coordination despite widespread infrastructure damage.

Director of Innovation, Raimundo Rodulfo of Coral Gables said “The City of Coral Gables used Reskube units to provide an additional layer of power and communications resiliency for technology at public safety stations, emergency management facilities, and for mobile incident response team deployments.
