Since all Hummer vehicles have heavy-duty capabilities, they have been employed by owners for aid in large disaster situations. Hummer Owners Prepared for Emergencies (HOPE) was created by the efforts of The Hummer Club, INC. and the American Red Cross. Together, the two organizations train Hummer owners with CPR and First Aid skills, and basic off-highway skills so that they may assist victims during a disaster situation.
Today, more than 200 owners have undergone HOPE certification and many assisted during the Hurricane Katrina disaster.
Many Hummer clubs have also developed local collaborations with law enforcement, fire, search and rescue and civil air patrol squadrons. In addition, many owners who use their Hummers off-road adhere to the Tread Lightly! trail ethics program when operating their vehicles on public lands.
