OFFICAL PRESS RELEASE



March 28, 2011



Greetings:



My name is Salvadore Torres; I am the present Senior Vice President and Director of Presidents for the “International Radio Emergency Support Coalition” known as IRESC. (http://www.irescintl.com/).



The main objectives of IRESC are to foster efficient collaboration between Radio Amateurs, extending friendships across the world and providing international emergency communications in times of need.

IRESC is a worldwide coalition of volunteer communicators, with dedicated members spread around the globe, help can be provided at all times of the day or night.


Currently, IRESC has members in at least 40 countries and it continues to grow. Most members are also affiliated with their respective national organizations; for example, the International Red Cross, the Magen David Adom, the Salvation Army, RAYNET, local ARES and Races groups, along with many others.


The IRESC team uses several modes of communication, including HF, VHF, UHF, amateur satellites, and principally Echolink VoIP communications. IRESC has Conference Server’s. The trunk systems use the Internet to link communications over vast distances without the propagation and interference shortcomings of radio paths. In this way, a disaster zone and the point of best assistance can be joined even if they are on opposite sides of the planet.

The IRESC Conference Server on Echolink (*IRESC*) is node number 257246. It is the official International Radio Emergency Coalition Support channel using Echo link trunk systems via the Internet to link.

The IRLP link 7767 it is the official IRLP International Radio Emergency Coalition Support channel.

We are always looking for a support in any form or manner and also new members in any part of the world. IRESC is willing to collaborate with all emergency communicators and relief agencies to provide support and communications for any disaster. Being a truly international organization, IRESC strongly adheres to the principals that bind together the world amateur radio movement; working together regardless of race, religion, culture or political viewpoint. The way the pre existing infrastructure is set up throughout the world, including Muslins Countries and even in the United States, in regards to emergencies communications, is that it is not prudent in life and death and health and welfare situations.



We at IRESC have the honor having as our members world class ham radio operators,



IRESC has been involved helping people in emergencies throughout the entire world. This includes Haiti, Pakistan and Mexico and Japan and Thailand most recently.



The IRESC team consists of Officers, Members and Supporters. Every person in IRESC is a volunteer.

Officers and Members have the specific skills and experience that IRESC requires and are expected to demonstrate a significant and regular level of commitment to the organization. All IRESC Officers and Members can be reached via email using the format @irescintl.com



Supporters are those that have registered an interest in IRESC via our registration process.



Supporters do not have full access privileges to the IRESC systems but they can quickly become full Members if they regularly attend the IRESC Echolink conference, particularly if they possess skills that are of benefit to the organization or who live in parts of the world where our representation is not established. The level of activity of our Supporters varies greatly; those listed here are the most active.

The International Radio Emergency Support Coalition” known as IRESC has undergone an organization change, there was confusion started by revoked former officers but those issues have been addressed and the former officers have their own respective organization.



The original founders of IRESC are still senior members and officers, and have kept this fine organization.

We at IRESC see problem’s in the existing infrastructure which is dependent upon the normal, when emergencies happen, existing infrastructure fails at times and that’s where the volunteers come in for free.



A lot of commercial companies will try to profit and make money off the emergencies and also the countries own government may not be up to the task and even so if they are, their communications is limited and not available to the whole world. This makes a big difference and life and death as IRESC has witnessed this many times.



We at IRESC would train them to do it for free if possible and help out in their respective country.



There is a lot of false security when it comes to the above, emergency resources are very limited and important and do make a difference.



IRESC has helped out most recently in Haiti, Pakistan, Mexico and Japan and Thailand and will continue to so for any emergency that may happen throughout the world.



The International Radio Emergency Support Coalition does make a difference and IRESC hereby wants to thank you for your time and honor and respect and in reading this communications.



Yours Respectfully,



Salvadore Torres/Senior Vice President of IRESC
