Texas DisasterLink builds formal, lasting partnerships with county governments, nonprofits, and corporate sponsors. Here's how we work together — and what you get.
Every TDL partnership is built around a simple principle: we bring the technology, you bring the community relationship. Together we keep rural Texas connected.
We formalize partnerships with Texas county emergency management offices and individual fire departments through a simple MOU. You get emergency connectivity at zero cost. We get the government partner credential that unlocks federal grant funding — which benefits everyone.
We collaborate with long-term recovery groups, faith-based disaster response organizations, and rural service nonprofits embedded in the communities we serve. If you're on the ground in rural Texas and need connectivity support — or have community relationships we can amplify — let's talk.
Texas-based companies with CSR budgets tied to disaster resilience and rural community investment. Your sponsorship is tax-deductible, publicly acknowledged, and directly funds deployments you can feature in your annual report. We offer five sponsorship tiers from $500 to $10,000+.
Getting a TDL device deployed to your fire station takes four simple steps. The whole process typically takes less than two weeks.
Email or call us to discuss your department's connectivity needs and confirm we have devices available for your county
We send a simple one-page Memorandum of Understanding for the fire chief to review — no legal complexity, no financial obligation
Once signed via DocuSign, we ship your deployment kit — Starlink Mini, backpack, vehicle adapter, and quick-setup card
Your station has year-round connectivity and is pre-registered for 24-hour emergency activation when disaster strikes
