History of World Civil Defence Day

The International Civil Defence Organization (ICDO) General Assembly established World Civil Defence Day in 1990. It celebrates the day in 1972 when the ICDO Constitution went into effect as an international organization. In 1931, French Surgeon-General George Saint-Paul founded the ICDO in Paris. In June 1935, the French Parliament recognized it, and in 1972, it was granted the position of umbrella organization. The ICDO Constitution has two major goals: to draw the country's attention to the most important need of Civil Protection and to promote knowledge of identity and preventative actions to be done in the case of a disaster. Historically, the Government of India's Civil Defence Policy was subjected to attempting to make the States and Union Territories aware of the need for diplomatic security mechanisms and asking them to maintain fully prepared public security document strategies for major towns and cities under the then Emergency Relief Organization (ERO) Scheme until the pronouncement of Emergency in 1962.

These institutions are commonly referred to as humanitarian action and public safeguard, and they are all involved with managing disaster situations.

Since the Cold War's conclusion, the emphasis on civilian protection has switched from massive military operations to crises and catastrophes. Disaster response, emergency preparedness, contingency planning, vulnerability assessments, civilian emergency, humanitarian aid, and civil assurance are some of the terminology used to convey the new idea. Civil defence is often regarded as an important component of national defence in several nations. Some nations have structured civil protection along special-forces grounds, while others have integrated it within the military services. The world's focus draws widespread attention to the necessity of civilian stability. This is a really momentous day for the entire globe.

The theme of World Civil Defence Day 2019 was "Children's safety, our responsibility." "Strong Civil Protection to Preserve the National Economy" is the topic for 2021. The day's goal is to recognize and stress the importance of state security in order to get attention and add interest to the need for shelter provision. The International Civil Defence Organization celebrates its 90th anniversary on World Civil Defence Day in 2021.

The Major Terms of Constructing the International Civil Defence Organization

The important terms which are involved in constructing the ICDO are as follows:

• Federating the domestic civil defence systems of Member States.
• Representing them on an international scale.
• Contributing to the domestic guard systems of Member States.
• Offering technical support and management consulting to national civil defence services.
• Designing educational and training initiatives for defence professionals as well as the general public.

The topic of civil community preservation is particularly pertinent in constrained conditions. The first person to think of it was French Surgeon-General George Saint-Paul, who established the Association of "Geneva Zones" in Paris on May 28, 1931. This inspired him to establish safety zones or normalized zones where individuals, especially women, infants, the aged, and the sick and disabled, might take shelter during situations of turmoil. In 1936, the Association issued a request for the development of zones of sanctuary for the inhabitants during the Spanish Civil War, the Sino-Japanese War, and subsequently in France during the Second World War, in accordance with its objective to strive for the enlightenment of military confrontation. The International Association of Geneva Zones (IAGZ) was renamed the International Civil Defence Organization (ICDO) in 1958 and given a new designation as a non-governmental institution with the following goals: 

• Instituting a correspondence between nationwide military police associations
• Embarking and boosting scientific studies on population protection and safety
• Exchange and sharing of perception
• Collaboration of initiatives in prevention and mitigation, contingency planning, and rebuttal.

Delegates of ICDO participating nations adopted the existing version of the institution's mandate in 1972, and it took effect on March 1, 1972.

The Roles of Civil Defence Volunteers

It is also important to know that apart from the appointed people in the role of Civil Defence, volunteers are also at work to help the local authorities maintain the decorum of the public spaces, thereby bringing in the way of discipline amongst the public in general. As per the Civil Defence Act of 1968, civil defence is any action "not amounting to real conflict that gives protection to individuals, businesses, and territories in India against a violent assault." The term was updated in 2010 by incorporating disaster risk management as one of the roles. The volunteers' primary responsibility is to support the local management. During the Covid-19 outbreak, volunteers took up the job of frontline staff by checking hotspots and delivering meals to the poor. However, in recent months, these volunteers have been recruited to guarantee social distance in marketplaces and other overcrowded locations and at vaccination centres.
