What Does Civil Defence Do?

Civil defence is concerned with the threat of emergencies and disasters that may strike a country rather than military defence, which is concerned with threats of attack from hostile countries. Preparation for civil defence programmes requires assessment to understand prevention and preparedness for the resultant planning. Coordination of emergency services and personnel for evacuation procedures, crisis management and the logistics of emergencies management and contingency planning all fall under the same umbrella when considering how best to act in response to any disaster.

Through out the world there have been enough industrial chemical accidents that have caused governments to take a step back and prepare a plan to deal with them. One of the most devastating examples happened in 1976 when a pesticide plant released a cloud of toxins into the air causing 600 people to be evacuated and 2000 to be treated for poisoning. It became known as the “Seveso Accident”. This along with other notable chemical accidents have lead to new directives on storage and processing activities of harmful chemicals.

In a military situation there are numerous civilian threats, each with their own risks and required responses. The first task is to identify the threat situation of each type of threat. Conventional explosives are amongst the most used weapons against civilians. To protect against traditional bombs there must be a thick concrete shelter. Nuclear attacks are perhaps the biggest threat due to the mass destruction they cause and the following radiation fallout. Switzerland is regarded as the most prepared country. Other threats include Chemical and Biological weapons.
