Polaris RANGER, the industry’s No.1-selling utility side-by-side
vehicle, has deployed all-new RANGER 1000 vehicles to support Team
Rubicon, a veteran-led disaster response organization, to aid their
relief efforts following Hurricane Dorian. Hurricane Dorian hit the
islands of the Bahamas as a category five hurricane earlier this
month, devastating communities with flooding that destroyed
infrastructure and leaving thousands of local citizens
displaced.

“We’d like to thank Polaris for their continued support of our
mission to help communities impacted by disaster – both in the U.S.
and around the world,” said Matt Colvin, Head of Partnerships at
Team Rubicon. “These RANGER vehicles will be tremendous force
multipliers for our teams in The Bahamas – allowing them to move
quicker, access more remote areas, and remove more debris.”
With more than 70,000 people displaced, recovery efforts in the
Bahamas have been slowed down by ravaged infrastructure. To make as
much impact as possible, Team Rubicon has launched a two-pronged
response operation in Great Abaco and Grand Bahama. The
organization deployed its Emergency Medical Team Type 1 Mobile to
help stabilize the situation, provide mobile medical care in
hard-to-reach and remote areas, and to help monitor for and prevent
disease outbreaks. Additionally, Team Rubicon has deployed
volunteers to provide route clearance, chainsaw operations,
expedient home repairs, flooded home-muck outs, and debris removal.
Team Rubicon will utilize the highly capable and reliable RANGER
vehicles to access remote locations and remove debris.
“When natural disasters strike, Team Rubicon is ready to take
action and we are honored to help support their mission,” said Kyle
Duea, Vice President of Marketing Off-Road Vehicles at Polaris. “As
the recovery efforts continue, our RANGER vehicles will provide
Team Rubicon with transportation to deliver needed support and help
communities affected by Hurricane Dorian rebuild.”
Polaris, a world leader in powersports, has a long history of
