National Committee of Civil Protection Volunteering

The National Committee of Civil Protection Volunteering was created to carry out Article 42 of the Civil Protection Code by the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers on July 11, 2019. This decree repealed the National Council of Civil Protection Volunteering.

The Committee, which carries out its activities free of charge and holds a three-year term in office, is composed of two committees: a national commission consisting of a volunteer representative for each of the subjects included in the central list of volunteers and a territorial commission consisting of a volunteer representing the subjects registered in each of the territorial lists of volunteers.

The Committee facilitates organized volunteering in the National Service of Civil Protection. It conducts research, studies, and discussions on promoting, training, and developing organized civil protection volunteering while fostering connections with other operational structures and components.

It also provides advice on the guidelines the Head of Department has proposed regarding volunteering.

The Committee meets at the Department of Civil Protection, with the participation of the members of the two committees, at least three times a year and when necessary.
