Welcome & Mission
Welcome to the headquarters of the Independent Red Crystal Organisation - an independent, private humanitarian organisation with a global mission to protect human life and health, to ensure respect for the human being, and to prevent and alleviate human suffering, without any discrimination based on nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions.

From our headquarters in Strando (ACT), Bruxella, we plan and dispatch teams across the globe to areas of conflict/disaster where civilians require our assistance. The IRCO is strictly neutral and makes no distinction in those who it aids. The organisation is a fully independent Non-Governmental Organisation, but receives a large percentage of its income from donations from the Bruxellan and Aunesian Governments. Other sources of funding include annual subscriptions to the Friends of the IRCO - a registered charity and from charitable donations from businesses.

Operations & Equipment
As well as responding to disasters as they occur, the IRCO also has a number of ongoing programmes including:

Healthcare: Bringing healthcare to those who otherwise would be unable to access it
Reconstruction: Bringing expertise and funding to help affected communities to work to rebuild their homes

The IRCO is fortunate enough, due to its funding arrangements to possess a number of vessels, aircraft and vehicles with which to complete their work. These include:

Hospital Ships- Image (http://img112.imageshack.us/img112/5347/thepacodq5.png)
The IRCO recently purchased, at great expense, two modified Saint Marks Class Hospital Ships from the Imperial Junta of Questers. They have been named the Paco and Kolombedoj. These ships are registered neutral vessels, and fly the red crystal at all times. The Kolombedoj is currently attached to the IRCO's Healthcare programme, independently cruising along the coastlines of impoverished nations. The Paco is the IRCO's hot-standby vessel, lying anchored. She can be dispatched with twelve hours notice to any part of the world.

Specifications
Length: 1425ft / 441.9m
Width: 225ft / 68.5m
Draught: 60ft / 18.2m
Displacement: 232,500 tons
Speed: 29 knots
Crew: 150 crew + 750 medical personnel
Facilities: Helicopter Landing bays, 1600 Hospital Beds, RORO bay for boats, operating theatres, imaging suites.

Helicopters
The IRCO helicopter fleet is essential to our operations, acting as ambulances and for transporting our volunteers/employees to otherwise inaccessible areas quickly and well-equipped. Currently we operate the following models:


Eurocopter EC 135 (http://www.heliport.de/heligal/ec135_1.jpg)
Eurocopter EC 145 (http://ivan.brocot.free.fr/ec145/ec145.jpg)
Modified Boeing CH-47 Chinook (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CH-47_Chinook)


Aircraft
Our own aircraft, or chartered aircraft, are used extensively to transport aid supplies, personnel and equipment to disaster zones. The IRCO has at least one plane stocked up and ready for dispatch within four hours to anywhere in the world. Other, smaller planes, work alongside our helicopters travelling within a disaster zone, or for getting supplies into smaller airstrips where larger jets are unable to land. We currently operate:


Airbus A400Ms (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A400M)
Lockheed L-100s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-130_Hercules)
Airbus A300C (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A300)
Handley Page Jetstream (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handley_Page_Jetstream)


Facilities
The IRCO currently owns and runs its own large, modern hospital in Vetaka, with 50 Wards, 4 Operating Theatres, 150 A&E Cubicles and imaging suites. It also hosts a large relaxation and long-term care centre with a capacity of 250 patients.

Organisation
The IRCO secretariat in Strando co-ordinates all activities, and has a stream-lined chain of command. The Secretary-General of the IRCO heads up the Secretariat, which is responsible for the financial management, human resources, transportation, public relations and legal departments. There are then a series of regional and special task forces, each led by a Task Force Leader. These co-ordinate activities of the organisation falling under their jurisdiction. Individual missions are led by Mission Team Leaders. They work on the ground, responding to events and needs as they occur, and have operational control.

The IRCO has two official languages - Esperanto and English. All volunteers and staff are expected to be competent in at least one of these two languages. The organisation heavily subsidises and encourages the learning of languages.

Human Resources
The majority of the IRCO's operational staff are volunteers working for the organisation for either lengthy detachments, or short-term placements. These come from across the healthcare and related professions, as well as the construction and civil engineering industries. Their work is unpaid, but work experience with the IRCO is invaluable for future employment prospects. Basic meals and accommodation are provided on overseas deployments.

A core group of IRCO staff are full-time paid employees. Most of these staff are based in Strando, although TFM's, MTL's and skilled workers (eg. pilots) are contracted to work anywhere in the world. Volunteers and employees come and work for the IRCO from across the globe - overseas employees receive special dispensation from the Sovereign Kingdom Immigration Service.

How can you help?

PLEASE NOTE: The IRCO currently has no requirement for additional aircraft and/or hospital facilities at the present time, but welcomes monetary donations.

The IRCO is always looking for more volunteers and donations to help us in our work. Contact details are provided below for the various departments or task force managers who you may be able to assist:

The Independent Red Crystal Organisation's trustee council have appointed a new leader for the organisation - Secretary-General Dr. Alexander Robinson. An experienced member of the IRCO's staff, he originally became involved in the organisation during its inception, in 1973, when he was one of the first members of the disaster relief team responding to an horrific earthquake in one of the outer islands of the Aunesian Archipelago.

He will take up his position tomorrow morning.

Official Dominion of Vetaka Message:

To: IRCO Donations Department <donations@irco.org>
From: Vetaka Forigen Affairs

I write to you today to offer the Independent Red Crystal Organization a Land Hospital located in Vetaka 30 Minutes from the Port City of Helgan and 15 Minutes from Helgan International Airport. The Facility has lay deserted since a restructure of Vetakan Healthcare meant that the facility was no longer needed.

It is structually sound and is modern. It has in total 50 Wards, 4 Operating Theatres, 150 A&E Cubicales, X-Ray and everything a modern hosipital requires. It also has a large relaxation complex which can support at this time 250 long term paitents. Vetaka has also directed a Helgan Airport Hanger to be put under hospital control. As a sign of Charity Vetaka is prepared to foot 75% of the Complex's running costs should you choose to accept. This facility would be ideal as a treatment and relaxation complex for people suffering extensive injury from a disaster. Vetaka would also be willing to provide, maintain, run and store 10 Ambulances, 3 Coach's (Transportation of Walking Wounded), 3 Air Ambulance Helicopters and 1 C-130 Hercules.

We hope you will accept this offer.

The International Red Crystal Organisation would be delighted to take possession of this hospital. Like you have suggested, this will indeed increase our capacity to deal with longer-term care needed by some of the patients we come across, facilities for whom we are unable to provide at the current time due to budgetary constraints.

Once again, thank you for this generous donation.

Dear Dr. Robinson,

I find your organizationto be a very nobel one, that can do tremendous good in the world. It would make me proud to have our nation contribute to this organization. You are more than welcome to use ports of Aqua Anu and our allies to your advantage. And I'm sure there are plenty of nations that could use your help when the time comes.


Yours Truly,
Princess Subaru

Dear Princess Subaru,

I thank you for your kind words about our organisation. Please allow me to extend my thanks to you for allowing the IRCO to operate freely, from ports within Aqua Anu.

Yours,

Dr. Robinson
Secretary-General of the IRCO.

The Democratic Empire of Vantanas would like to donate three hospitals in the nation proper. and also one hospital in each of our colonies. Lastly, we will donate fifty thousand Universal Standard Dollars, every month. May your work help change this world.

-Prime Minister Bellcrest
-Emperor Micah I

TO: The Democratic Empire of Vantanas
FROM: The Independent Red Crystal Organisation

Whilst we gratefully accept the donation of $50,000 per month, we must sadly decline your gracious offer of hospital facilities, as, at the present time we are unable to staff them due to our operations overseas. We would very much like to enter into agreement with the Empire of Vanatas to have the Empire act as a recognised place of safety, to where displaced persons can be transported temporarily should they wish to do so.

The Secretariat; IRCO

Dear Dr. Robinson,

Princess Subaru of Aqua Anu has recently informed me of your organization. And I think it's another wonderful organization to enter the world. Consider the full support of the Government with you and everything you people do.

We'll donate any supplies and funds you may need when preparing for a relife mission, and I'll be more than glad to give you full acess to Kanami ports.

Yours in Goodwill,

IRCO,

The payment for the month has been sent. Now, concerning the hospitals, the Democratic Empire will be more then willing to supply, and pay if need be, the workers. We would be incredibly happy to take displaced persons temporarily. They may also apply for citizenship, and/or work for money, completly covered by minimum wage.

We would prefer to operate from the hospitals as and when required, rather than a standing presence for the time being. As for the citizenship of these individuals, the IRCO merely wishes to have known places of refuge for any displaced individuals fleeing warzones, and is not in a position to determine or play any part in determining their status following this, which is a matter for that individual and their state, once conflict ends.

We thank you for your continued assistance.

Very well, but the hospitals will be there if you should ever need them. Concerning citizenship, we only said the could become citizens if they wished.

The IRCO thanks you for your assistance in our mission, and wishes to simply reiterate that we merely wished to stress our independence from any refugees individual status.

From: The United Socialist States of Wagdog
To: The Independent Red Crystal Organization
On behalf of my country and my husband, the General Secretary, who is currently indisposed at the moment due to confidential Revolutionary Command Council business, I would be happy to have Wagdog apply for designated haven status also. Refugees coming here would be assured both comfort and security; as we are both prosperous enough to shelter the innocent, and strong enough to deter those so depraved as to strike at them.
To that end, should you have them, we can donate spare hospital space on an as-needed basis, port and airport space for arrivals, and 30 surplus aircraft including:
10 An-24 Coke light cargo transports
10 An-2 Colt light utility transports
10 Mi-4 Hound utility helicopters.
While old designs certainly, these are currently the top aircraft of their class in our service, domestically manufactured here according to easily-obtained designs, and in pristine condition having been from a military order which we recently deemed surplus. Their known ruggedness should serve you well in harsher climates, and we offer them as a free gift from fellow humanitarians. Whatever else your fine organization may need, ask and I shall make what case I can for it.
Sincerely,
Comrade Christine Friedrich (Revolutionary Party)

Dear Dr. Robinson-sama,

First of all it's pretty rare for a Kuronan Princess to adress anyone else as "sama" (which is a Japanese Honorific) but you should know Sama commands great respect (underneath sensei) and I respect you quite a bit.

Kurona is a bit of poor country so I don't have much to offer you, other than food and acess to ports and hospitals. But I certianly wish you had been around two years ago last October. A major storm system locked over Kurona causing terrible weather on a biblical scale. Relentless rain, tornados, hurricanes, hail storms, wind storms, floods, and lighting storms for days plagued us. We became so batterd we had to break our isolationist stance and call for help from the international community. As a few days began to pass I had feared our calls went ignored but fortunatley one of our closest freind and allies responded to the call. As well as another nation and soon another nation joined in. (Kanami, Czardas and Stevid) both risked life and limb of people to aid. Aqua Anu also helped tremendously when the storm cleared, and Princess Subaru privatley volunteered at a relife camp. (She doesn't know that I know) And all nations were very helpful in reliving the national insurance debt and non asked for anything in return.

If it weren't for these four I don't know where we would be. I can't even say I'd be alive. (Having no safe ways of evacuation) Thus i always feel to give a little back every day.

I hope you have no trouble reading this. My Kurma is better than my English.

Truly,
Princess Tomoyo Mikanu
The Principality of Kurona

Dear Princess Tomoyo Mikanu,

It is with great regret that I learn of the terrible events that have occurred within your nation. I can only assure you that should there ever be a repeat of such an incident, the IRCO would arrive without delay. The IRCO thanks you for your offer of assistance, and for your co-operation with our volunteers.

Might I enquire as to whether the IRCO could assist your nation at all, in developmental aid? Our Development Task Force is well trained and experienced in situations such as your own, and could help to increase your citizens' standard of living. I personally would be delighted to pay a field visit to your nation, to meet you and discuss what strategies we could pursue.

Yours sincerely,

Alexander Robinson

Dear Dr. Robinsion,

Thank you for offer. But I don't think it will be needed. Most citizens do have a good stadard, we just aren't of a 1st world nature. Most homes do have running water and proper facilties. Electricity however is quite rare, usually for the very wealthy. Education is mandated up to 18 years of age thus no terrible education gaps. But I still wouldn't mind meeting with you and getting your opinions. The Raven Order feels no need to fully modernize the nation and I'm afraid they overule me on that feature. By Sociology standards we are a middle income country.

Yours Truly,
Princess Tomoyo Mikanu
The Principality of Kurona

Dear Dr. Robinson,
The Allied States of AlaricII will gladly give any aid to your organization that it can. Any funds that we cab provide will be donated promptly, starting with 500,000 USD. We will also give you the use of our airports and, if you so need, any planes we can spare, either supply or passenger.

The Democratic Republic of Kasaoka is very interested in pledging continual monetary donations to the Independent Red Crystal Organisation, as we find it our duty as a wealthy state to contribute goodwill to others around the globe. We have many top-notch hospitals, research institutes, and universities within our borders and they would all be eager to help the IRCO in any way possible. If possible, we would be very interested in sending medical students, nurses, doctors, and surgeons to aid in IRCO missions around the world. I personally would love to get involved and we at the Ministry hope to hear from you soon.

Official Dominion of Vetaka Diplomatic Message:

To: IRCO Donations Department <donations@irco.org>
From: Vetaka Forigen Affairs

Further to our commitment to the Independant Red Crystal Organisation we have a proposal for you. Vetaka has recently reorganized its mental health care provision. This restructure has resulted in a facility becoming vacant. We would like to offer this complex to you. The complex called "Swallow Island" is minimum level thearpy and relaxation centre. Located in isloation of its own small island 7 miles north of Vetaka's main island of Newman.

The complex has thearpy facilities to aid in the recovery of all injuries. It has beaches and beautiful countryside to relax within. It has a total patient bed capacity of 750. So here is the proposal you use "Swallow Island" for all after care operations and you use the orignal Helgan Complex for emergancy care. It would take minor upgrades and building work to convert the Helgan After Care unit into Accident and Emergancy space what do you think?

Dominion of Vetaka Forigen Affairs Officer Emily Pearce

OOC: Proper IC reply coming soon! Just a bit hectic atm!

The IRCO would very much like to set in motion this proposal.

The Allied States is at the IRCO's disposal. We have emergency workers who can be dispatched within 48 hours. Some more detail would be needed, such as whether or not the storm has stopped and what kind of damage has been reported. The emergency workers consist of doctors, nurses, construction workers, and an assorted group of miscellaneous workers. Please respond as quickly as possible so that we may being relief efforts as quickly as possible.

Official Diplomatic Communique

The United States of Cookesland would like to donate 100,000 NS Dollars worth of mediacal supplies to the IRCO in order to help the victims of the Haavian hurricane. If there is any other way for us to help please let us know.

(OOC: It's an independent organisation which performs similar functions to the International Red Cross, the charities of Oxfam, Mercy Ships etc. it has a broad mission. Separate from Aunesian govt', but they are one of the largest donors)

TO: All donors

The IRCO thanks you for your generous donations. We are currently awaiting more information, which we expect shortly!

It is still there. Havvy uses the Nuyecomark (valued at 2 nuyecomarks for one USD/NS$)

It should be there for the next '24 hours' fluid time. The first link directs you to the thread. The second one directs you to a blank page (for the post).

*Talking about Anuesians links in the Urgent Appeal post*

(OOC: Which links, sorry?)

Wagdog will gladly donate $500,000 of supplies; plus agree to dispatch medical aid and house whatever Havian refugees desire to come here. We stand ready, and await only what new information you have on the specifics of the problem.

Due to new information, the Allied States will wait 72 hours launching relief workers. Expect up to 650 initially with 13 tons of food, oil, and medical supplies, depending on how we will be able to transport them. If needed, a company of soldiers to support local law enforcement.

The Democratic Empire, having heard of the hurricane at Havvy, will donate an additional fifty million dollars along with this months allotment. Furthermore, we are sending approximatly one ton of non-parishable food, one ton of medical supplies, and one thousand relief workers to Havvy. Also, corporations and private organizations (churchs, etc.) are likely to donate more supplies and volunteers.

TO: The Secretariat, Independent Red Crystal Organisation

We would be delighted to host a team of IRCO speakers to tour our nations hospitals and universities to speak with interested medical personnel, students, and volunteers. A representative of the Foreign Ministry will contact your offices soon to confirm a tour schedule. We are also interested in opening IRCO offices in the capital of Hino and also in our largest city, Yokohama. We hope to organize events and fundraisers from these offices and also use these offices to recruit IRCO volunteers.

Concerning the crisis in Havvy, we will be donating $100,000.00NS to the relief effort following the devastating hurricane.

To the International Red Crystal:

The Republic of Ironwell feels very strongly that we must commit what we can to ensure that those who need humanitarian aid in times of crisis can get it as soon as possible. We hereby commit the sum of 500 million Republican dollars per annum to the IRC's operating budget. As well our private sector has raised 250 million Republican dollars to the current situation in Haavy. Your members are always welcome in our borders and if needed we can house displaced persons. It seems that the IRC's become somewhat of a cause celebre in our republic as of late and while we don't have much to offer in terms of heavy equipment, we can offer our nation's strongest resource, our people. A coalition of 34 doctors, nurses and other medical staff have voiced interest in donating their time with the Red Crystal if you'll take them.

Relief units from the Allied States are prepared from deployment, though we would like to know how many ports are left operational so we can plan the course for our ships.

-David Mogalanski

Heh, time for my nation hasn't moved at all...

Minister of Infrastructure; (I forget his name)

I believe that a southern port on Homantor is open. The storm did the least damage to that area, and that they came out with nothing but a few scratches. I'm sure they should be able to go well.

By the way, we will not be accepting any more aid from people. Currently, we have a total of:

300,350,000 Dollars (600,700,000 Nuyecomarks, the official Havian currency shared with a few countries)
1650 Relief Workers
17 Tons Relief Supplies

In case you are wondering, that is about $23 for every man, woman, and child in the nation of Havvy. We have only 12 million people, and about 2 of them live on Homantar. So, if you want to know, that is $138 for every person in Homantor. We aren't going to return it, but if another crisis rises, I am going to pull it out of that first. The expected damage is about $12 million o n Homantor, and about $42 million on Trazic, for a combined cost of $54 million, or 108 million Nuyecomarks. That will leave us with approximately 500 million nuyecomarks. In other words, you've sent 6 times the expected damage. The damage total should be gathered about a week after the hurricane.

OOC: I am moving all these into the Hurricane thread.

OOC: Well, you made it sound pretty bad in the other thread.
IC: Thank you for this information. The Allied States of AlaricII have just deployed relief units and they will arrive within the end of tomorrow. Supplies will be distributed among the populace of the hardest hit areas and as soon as things are restored, we will be willing to send construction workers to help with rebuilding. Please inform us on the rebuilding that your government plans to do.

Such organisations like these have appeared in past and usually grid to a halt and fail miserably after a few months. This one, however, is proving to be a wise investment to contributors and your work is well recognised in the Stevidian Parliament.

We wish to make a donation to keep this organisation running to full capacity and effectiveness. A total sum of £500 Million to this organisation. We hope you will put it to good use and we may call upon your humanitarian obligations in the future to tend to nations who need it most.

Thank You

Honerable Agency,

Aqua Anu is very much in need of aid after being struck by the deveastating Hurricane Karen (which is the title post of where this is commencing). It's likely their lines of communication are down they have some help but they will need more. I my self will be touring the disaster site and helping in any way I can.

Yours in freindship,
Tomoyo Mikanu (Princess)

Aerospace Logistics Official Message

We believe a conflict we're currently involved in would benefit from an independent aid organization, and therefore have established the Exurbean Humanitarian Force (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=13221721&postcount=38). Willing to ensure neutrality, we would like the Independent Red Crystal Organisation to take command over the EHF, and conducting operations under the IRCO flag.

Awaiting for your reply,

Aerospace Logistics Corporation,
Relations Department.

The IRCO thanks all nations for their kind donations, and agrees to take charge of the Exurbean Humanitarian Force.

Yours,

Dr Alexander Robinson

Official Diplomatic Communiqué
The Imperial Republic of New Pictavia
ENCRYPTION: Secure Channel
TO: The Independent Red Crystal Organisation <secretariat@irco.org>
SUBJECT: Atlantican Expansion
DATE: 27 MARCH MMVIII

MESSAGE: I write to personally extend an invitation to the Independent Red Crystal Organization to expand their most honourable efforts into the region we reside within, know as "Europa Atlantica". My people or our Atlantican neighbours do not require humanitarian assistance of any kind, nor do we ever hope to, however the generosity of strangers must be understood and graciously embraced to ensure a better tomorrow for all in the event of the unimaginable. I believe the IRCO should be allowed to flourish on the international stage and that such a noble and indeed peaceful venture should not be forgot, as such I present the Secretariat with the following proposal:

❖New Pictavia and her Sovereign Protectorates, Colonies and Territories recognizes The Independent Red Crystal Organization (referred to as the "IRCO" forthwith) as an independent, free, legitimate and peaceful charity within and out with Imperial territory.

❖New Pictavia shall not inhibit the humanitarian work of the IRCO in any form or degree so long as such work does not compromise the defence and prosperity of the realm. If said condition is met, the IRCO will be permitted to freely conduct business and charity as a completely separate entity, so long as Imperial law is obeyed.

❖New Pictavia shall provide a more than adequate centre within the Pictish Atlantican homelands to be established as a regional headquarters for any potential and prospective business of the IRCO. Such headquarters may exist to serve as a base of operations should disaster occur to an inhabitant of the region whose plea for aid is accepted by the IRCO, and indeed may be utlized to coordinate the IRCO's efforts throughout the Atlantic.

❖The costs of establishing a base of operations on Pictish soil will be fully covered by the Pictish government and greater Imperial authority. Although this commitment does not extend to a guarantee of Pictish charity in the event of regional disaster, Parliament shall coordinate its own resources with any IRCO humanitarian efforts within the region where deemed necessary by the former party.

❖In the event of great tragedy within Pictavia, assurances are made that significant IRCO resources are concentrated on maintaining the well-being of Pictish citizens.

Dear Mr Kadesh,

The Independent Red Crystal Organisation would like to thank The Imperial Republic of New Pictavia for its generosity and support for the advancement of humanitarian efforts for the benefit of all. The IRCO would be delighted to take up the offer of assistance from New Pictavia, and agrees to all terms neccessary. The IRCO will abide by Pictish law within its territories.

I have dispatched the Under Secretary-General for Atlantican Affairs to liase with your relevant personnel.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Alexander Robinson
