<p>The <strong>International Rescue Corps</strong> is a volunteer organization involved in disaster rescue, based in Scotland. It is an independent (i.e. non-governmental funded) United Nations registered disaster rescue service. Being a charity, the IRC is supported entirely by donations from the public and sponsorship from industry. IRC members are unpaid volunteers and all the IRC's services are provided free of charge - the Corps' aim is purely to save life.</p>
<p>The Corps was formed in 1981 in the aftermath of a major Italian earthquake and became operational in 1985; it has since undertaken numerous missions at home and across the world. In many cases, missions are co-operative efforts working alongside other agencies both nationally and internationally.</p>
<p>Over the last 25 years IRC has undertaken a variety of work both in the UK and abroad.Overseas missions include several earthquakes, hurricanes and subsequent floods, mudslides and logistical / aid work, whilst UK missions include gas explosions, train crashes, highline rescues, missing person searches and floods.</p>
<p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
