About the General Directorate of Civil Protection
Contrary to popular belief, the DGPC’s responsibilities extend far beyond firefighting and responding to traffic accidents. Its operations encompass a wide range of challenges, including natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, locust invasions) and human-induced incidents (toxic gas leaks, hazardous material spills, transportation accidents, and environmental pollution).
The DGPC serves as a national entity tasked with reflection, research, study, consultation, and intervention to safeguard people and property under any circumstances. This mission is detailed in Article 36 of the decree on public administration personnel regulations.
Core Missions of the DGPC
The DGPC is structured under the Ministry of Interior and is tasked with responding to major natural and technological disasters as well as everyday emergencies. Key responsibilities include:
- Assisting and rescuing victims of various incidents.
- Implementing safety measures during disasters to protect individuals and property.
- Combating fires and other hazards.
- Coordinating relief efforts during major disasters.
- Developing risk management strategies and conducting research on disaster mitigation.
- Supporting public and private institutions in accident prevention and preparedness.
