The International Red Cross Organization IRCO was founded on Sep. 1, 2003 by los chingados's The IRCO Resolution by a vote of 11,835 to 1,600. Originally set up as a non-profit organization, funded by donations and grants, the IRCO was designed to serve as a humanitarian first response team for disasters.
Since its original creation, IRCO offices have sprung up in many parts of the globe, as IRCO teams have been called upon in response to numerous disasters.
The authority of the IRCO to respond to disasters was later enhanced by the passage of Mikitivity's Good Samaritan Laws resolution, adopted Oct. 8, 2004.
