The International Civil Defence Organisation (ICDO) is an inter-governmental organisation whose objective is to contribute to the development by States of structures ensuring the protection and assistance of populations and safeguarding property and the environment from natural or man-made disasters.

These structures are generally known as civil protection, civil defence, civil safety and emergency management. The ICDO federates these structures with the aim of favouring cooperation and mutual solidarity between them.

The ICDO is the umbrella organisation of national civil defence structures. Its objective is to contribute to their creation and reinforcement. The ICDO also plays the role as the federating organisation which:

brings together the capacities of all its Members and partners so as to attain common objectives;
unites national civil defence structures and endeavours to give them a common identity through universally recognized and accepted values;
furthers and encourages solidarity between its Members.
