World Civil Defence Day: Honoring the Unsung Heroes of Safety

Every year on March 1st, the world comes together to observe World Civil Defence Day, a day dedicated to recognizing and honoring the unsung heroes who play a critical role in protecting lives, properties, and communities during disasters and emergencies.

This day not only serves as an opportunity to express gratitude towards the dedicated civil defense workers but also as a reminder of the importance of preparedness, resilience, and community-based safety measures.
