What is Civil Defense?
In the face of adversity caused by natural and man-made disasters, Americans act with courage, compassion, and unity. Civil Defense is a grassroots self-help movement that taps this collaborative spirit by engaging the whole community at the local level to strengthen individual, organizational, and community preparedness before tragedy strikes. Civil Defense provides a platform for collaborative community planning and creates opportunities for individuals to volunteer to help their communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies. By fostering collaboration among all sectors of the community, residents can participate in making their communities safer, stronger, and more resilient against the threats of disasters of all kinds.
