World Civil Defence Day is celebrated every year on 1st March. This Day commemorates the entry into force in 1972 of the ICDO Constitution as an inter-governmental organisation and has two main purposes :
that of bringing to the attention of the public world-wide the vital importance of Civil Defence and of raising awareness of the preparedness for, and prevention and self-protection measures in the event of, accidents or disasters; that of paying tribute to the efforts, sacrifices and accomplishments of the personnel of all the national services responsible for the fight against disasters.
The World Days are an occasion for a variety of national events: symposium, conferences, radio and television debates, open days, disaster prevention and simulation exercises, and an opportunity to take stock of the development of Civil Defence structures and of the existing technical and material means available.
