Material type:
TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1982Description: 30p., 8 refsReport number: Defence Department or MinistrySubject: The term civil defence has been traditionally used to refer in general terms to the protection of the civil population from the effects of hostile action. The tendency is to set civil defence apart from the threats to lives and property caused by natural disasters. The latest definition of civil defence appears in Article 61 of Protocol I Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, and the performance of tasks relating to emergencies: "hostilities or disasters" are enumerated. Clearly the intention is to include recovery from any dangers that threaten survival. This paper uses the term disaster preparedness to cover threats to the civil population, regardless of origin
