Local

Civil defence mechanisms operate at the central level and through regional governorates only. There is no provision in the civil defence law for powers at the local level. Though centrally managed there are local councils, offices and departments operating at the local level in this sector.

There are on-going projects to develop partnerships between the Civil Defence Services and local societies and private stakeholders.
