Communication Portal

Working away as field crew on projects, we all know how difficult keeping in contact and communicating with colleagues, industry friends and family can be.

Working in the field, we can work together for months, change bases or finish our contract, and then possibly not see each other again for months or even years, and still remain in the same organization. Should one of us change agencies or leave the industry altogether, it is far too easy to lose contact completely.

Our extraordinary nomadic life has inherent communication problems at professional, social and personal levels. Crew2Crew has designed and built a number of communications solutions specifically for agency field crew and those that have left the industry.

A Live Aid and Relief Agency Search Database with data supplied and regularly updated by leading industry data providers. This will help you find yourself within the industry and then find your colleagues and friends.
A Secure Communications System that provides crew and companies with secure e-mail, IM Instant Messaging, private company chat rooms, private notice boards, SMS text messaging and WAP communication services.
Secure Networking through Crew2Crew filtered links for e-mail, chat and messaging communication, where your private e-mail address and contact details are kept private.
Social Networking allowing field crew active and retired, to find and keep in contact with colleagues past and present. An online community of aid & relief agency, humanitarian support and medical crew, where you will always find someone you have something in common with.
Agency Chat Room Community
Crew2Crew have created an Agency Chat Room Community for field crew from around the world to come and relax and socialize. Rooms to be informed and keep up to date with changes in the industry and private chat rooms for one to one conversation or a group of your invited friends. Rooms to chat in your own language or create your own temporary Chat room to discuss a specific topic.
General Notice & Message boards
Their function is to act as a static communications point where different types of information can be posted, viewed and answered.

Crew 2 Crew is the Communications Forum to your industry.
