In order to help those affected by the earthquake in the Indian Ocean IRC
has engaged in several initiatives, mainly in collaboration with the
Netherlands Water Partnership (NWP [http://www.nwp.nl/]), which include an
integrated emergency plan, briefing sessions and practical information on
water, sanitation and hygiene for local organisations and aid workers.
Further details can be found in a special temporary web page

fact-sheets on water, sanitation and hygiene in emergency situations, and
reports of relief efforts and initiatives of IRC's partners in the South
and in the North.
