What is Civil Defence?
The Civil Defence Act 2002 makes it a requirement for each Local, District
and Regional Council or Unitary Authority to:
- Maintain a current Civil Defence Plan
- Appoint Civil Defence Controllers who will manage any Civil Defence Emergency
- Have a Civil Defence organisation and facilities
Council may also:
- Recruit and train volunteers
- Conduct Civil Defence training exercises
Planning identifies community hazards, that can help organisations and sets
priorities for Reduction, Readiness, Response and Recovery
Organisational structures are established and tested to ensure that they will
meet the demands in any emergency.
Volunteers are the staff of the organisation and are recruited and trained
to perform their roles, some represent other organisations who contribute by
providing their normal services.
Civil Defence Emergency Management is identifying what emergencies could occur
in an area, clarifying which organisations would become involved responding to
events using their
normal resources and staff.
You have a part to play too, reduce the level of damage that could occur in
your home "Fasten, Fix and Forget". Understand the type of disasters
which could affect you and your home and be Ready for when you need to Respond.
