Upgrade of Civil Defense to Enhance Crisis Management
August 7, 2025
The government is preparing to upgrade its Civil Defense to improve crisis management, following weaknesses identified during recent fires. The proposal from the Minister of Interior has already been approved by the Cabinet and aims to establish the National Civil Protection Mechanism. The reorganization of Civil Defense will involve increased responsibilities and cooperation with various agencies. This proposal is linked to recommendations from the French organization Expertise France, which has been tasked with a reform project. As part of this, new areas of responsibility will be created for better crisis management.
