EMERGENCY, STATE OF
When an org or portion of an org has consistently down statistics
(O.I.C.) or numerous non-compliances or offences, it is declared to be in a
STATE OF EMERGENCY. This can be assigned to a unit, sub-section, section,
department, division or the entire organization. It is not assigned to a
person.
A small flag on a pin is placed on the org board at the end of the org
board name of the portion or organization. The flag is bright red.
The condition is assigned only by the Office of LRH.
Flags are also used for other conditions assigned. These too are
assigned only by the Office of LRH.
Conditions including Emergency are ended when a new condition is
assigned or just ended. This is done only by the Office of LRH.
To end an Emergency condition the portion of Scientology to which it is
assigned must follow closely the Emergency Formula. On any condition
assigned, its formula must be followed scrupulously and the steps taken
must be reported one by one by the most senior person in the portion. In
the case of an org in Emergency the reports are made to the Office of LRH
Saint Hill by the HCO Executive Secretary or HCO Area Secretary in the
absence of an HCO Executive Secretary.
In addition to following the Emergency formula closely, the following
policies apply to the portion in a State of Emergency:

1. A report of an error, misdemeanour or crime on any staff member in
that portion counts as five reports in other conditions and is acted
on by a Court of Ethics at once.
CREDIT WORTHLESS
2. The credit of the portion is worthless and it may have only those
bare things necessary to carry out the Emergency formula so that
it can promote or deliver.
NO NEW PERSONNEL
3. No personnel may be added to the portion in a State of Emergency. No
new people may be hired on for the portion in a State of Emergency. No
personnel may be transferred to a portion that is in a State of
Emergency unless an incumbent is transferred off, and in such a
way that the personnel of the portion does not increase in number.
RIGHTS
4. Precedent and privilege are suspended for the officers and staff
members of a portion in a State of Emergency.
STATUS
5. No staff status may be increased in a portion in a State of
Emergency.
If the State of Emergency is continued beyond the allotted time period,
then these policies apply:
6. Deputy, Acting and Provisional assignments and appointments are
cancelled throughout the portion.
7. The fact of having been part of a portion which did not recover is
filed in the personnel files of each staff member present in that
portion at the moment the State of Emergency was assigned, and the
statement is made on a red sheet of paper.
8. The executive personnel will be ordered before a Committee of
Evidence to the
