World Civil Defence Day 2022: Know its theme, significance and much more

Every year, World Civil Defence Day is celebrated across the world on March 1. The day was integrated by the International Civil Defence Organisation (ICDO) in 1990. The International Civil Defence Organisation (ICDO) is an intergovernmental organisation that contributes to the development and safety of citizens while safeguarding infrastructure and the surroundings.

        

The theme for the year 2022 is "Uniting the world’s leading industry specialists for the safety and security of future generations."

Last year, the theme of World Civil Defence Day was “Civil Defence and the first aider in every home.” The theme was launched by showing a film that reveals the importance of promoting a safe culture at home.

This day is important as it aims to raise public knowledge of civil defence, emergency preparedness, and protection and prevention measures. This day is very special for the whole world. It also focuses on making volunteers more active participants, especially at the time of any calamity.
