Office of Civil Defense

The Office of Civil Defense (OCD) is a government agency that focuses on enhancing the safety and preparedness of communities in the event of disasters or emergencies, such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, or other crises. It coordinates planning, training, and response efforts to ensure that people are informed, equipped, and ready to handle emergencies. The OCD works with local governments, organizations, and the public to create emergency response plans, conduct drills, and provide resources for disaster management, ultimately aiming to minimize harm and protect lives during critical situations.
