In October, the group responded to a 7.2 earthquake in the island province of Bohol, Philippines. The group performed debris removal and salvage. While the project in Bohol continued, the group set up a second response site on the nearby Island of Leyte in response to Typhoon Yolanda. Volunteers on Leyte worked to demolish damaged structures and deliver food to rural residents. At the same time, the group set up a stateside response project in Washington, Illinois following a series of tornadoes in November 2013. FEMA had denied aid to the area, saying that infrastructure damage after the storms wasn't severe enough to warrant federal help.
