World Civil Defence Day
World Civil Defence Day is celebrated every year on 1st March. The day is to bring the attention of the world public about the importance of Civil protection. It is also observed to pay tributes to the efforts, sacrifices, and accomplishments of all the services responsible to fight against disasters. International Civil Defence Organisation (ICDO) decided to celebrate this day in 1990.
Every year, the I.C.D.O. selects a theme to guide the activities of World Civil Defense Day. In 2019, it was “Children’s safety, our responsibility” while in the year 2021 it was Civil Defence and the first aider in every home. In 2022, the theme is ‘Uniting the world’s leading industry specialists for the safety & security of future generations.’
