- republican civil defence headquarters;
- regional civil defence staff s;
- municipal civil defence staff s;
- local civil defence units (for parts of municipalities);
- civil defence wardens in larger residential buildings, blocks, streets, settlements,
companies and other legal entities.
Appointments need to be considered with regard to the following:
- civil defence offi cers in the Ministry of Defence;
- expertise in specifi c forms of protection and rescue;
- previous experience (and training) in civil defence bodies
4. Needs and possibilities of implementing protection and rescue missions by companies
equipped and qualifi ed for such actions
Th e degree of threat and the assessed consequences highlight the need for the full
engagement of companies equipped and qualifi ed for protection and rescue, particularly
in the fi eld of construction, municipal services, health care, veterinary services,
factory&offi ce canteens, hotels&restaurants, fi re brigades etc. Th eir regular activity
implies the need for their engagement in the protection and rescue of people, property
and cultural assets.
In order to ensure successful preparation, civil defence bodies covering all companies
equipped and qualifi ed for protection and rescue will prepare specifi c tasks on the
basis of which these companies, depending on their resources, will plan (upscale) their
wartime job specifi cation and carry out the necessary preparations, with the help of civil
defence bodies, in providing the necessary personnel and equipment.
Th e current organization of such companies falls short even of minimum requirements,
and eff orts are required in order to boost their capacity and make them roadworthy for
the extensive protection and rescue missions. 70
