Sketch : The Canadian Commonwealth Safety Crew

Sketch on the Canadian structure : The Canadian Commonwealth Safety Crew

The Canadian Commonwealth Safety Crew will replace the Canadian Army. It will be neutral, Environmental Safety and International Rescue oriented. Able to displace coastal populations after major marine disasters or to save people after major earthquakes.

Principle of neutrality : The person or object bearing the Canadian Commonwealth Safety Crew logo will be entitled to protection from attack under International Humanitarian Law.
The Canadian Commonwealth Safety crew will keep 19,500 Regular and 15,500 Reserve crew members (former soldiers) to actively serve Canadians and the International community.
Trained and ready for rescue, the Canadian Commonwealth Safety Crew will have the skills and capability necessary to respond to a wide variety of potential critical situations such as :
- Environmental disasters
- Earthquakes
- Forest fires
- Marine disasters including coastal floods
- Cyclones and Tornadoes
- Hurricanes
- Storms
- Natural disasters
- Relocalisation of entire populations during humanitarian crisis following epidemics, famine, armed conflicts or any humanitarian disaster
The Canadian Commonwealth Safety Crew will represent the Canadian Commonwealth internationally.
The Canadian Commonwealth Safety Crew will also be prepared to assist the Canadian Commonweauth states and territorial authorities with environmental tasks in your community, including :
- Cleaning river sides and shores or any geographical area touched by an ecological disaster or a deterioration
- Reforestation
- Urgent repair of roads and bridges
- Transport of patients during major epidemics or pandemics
- Creation of auxiliary hospitals and relief centers
- Establishment of centers for food distribution
- Construction of an emergency treatment or desalination of water
- Construction of shelters
- Construction of temporary accommodation
- Distribution of food or equipment and health care
Inland, the tasks of the Canadian Commonwealth Safety Crew can therefore be summarized as follows:
· to provide relief assistance in emergency situations of large magnitude where a technical crew is required
· to support the Canadian Commonwealth societies with disaster preparedness through the education of voluntary members and the provision of equipment and relief supplies
· to support local health care projects in case of emergency
The Canadian Commonwealth Safety Crew will also be able to help local police in case of emergencies : public disorders or when the public safety and the social peace are threatened inside the Canadian Commonwealth territory.
