Mondo International Updated on 2024-02-01

In view of the huge impact of World War II, Russia attaches great importance to civil defense construction, which can be summarized as follows:

1.Highly integrated organizational structure: The Russian Civil Defence is under the direct leadership of the Russian Civil Defense, which is managed by a dedicated department, such as the Russian Ministry of Civil Defence, Emergency Situations and Elimination of the Consequences of Natural Disasters (EMERCOM), which is responsible for civil defense work throughout the country and has a number of functional departments to ensure the comprehensiveness and professionalism of the work.

2.Civil-military integration and dual functions: Russia's civil defense forces are compatible with civil-military defense, including civil defense tasks, including the protection of civilian populations, infrastructure and cultural heritage in wartime, and are able to participate in emergency relief operations in peacetime such as natural disasters and technological accidents. At the same time, when necessary, these forces can also be used as part of the defence forces to carry out national defence tasks.

3.Systematic training and education system: Russia has established a relatively complete civil defense education and training system, not only for active military personnel, but also for ordinary citizens, through schools, communities and specialized training institutions to popularize civil defense knowledge and skills, and improve the protection awareness and emergency response ability of all citizens.

4.Modernization of technology and facilities: At the level of technology and equipment, Russia continues to modernize its air defense early warning system, develop and deploy advanced air defense systems, and improve various material reserves and logistics support facilities to ensure a rapid and effective response in the event of war or disaster.

5.International cooperation and synergy: The Russian Civil Defense actively participates in international affairs, cooperates and exchanges with other countries and international organizations in the field of civil defense, and jointly addresses global security challenges.

6.Multi-level defense network: Russia has built a multi-level civil defense network covering cities, regions and the whole country, including evacuation planning, air defense shelters, communication and command systems, etc., and strives to form an all-round and three-dimensional defense system.

7.Improvement of emergency response capability: Emphasizing rapid response and efficient handling capabilities, the civil defense force has continuously improved its actual combat capability in responding to various emergencies through actual combat drills and simulation exercises.
