Abstract

This Law regulates the entire system and operation of civil protection; rights and obligations of state administration bodies, local and regional self-government units, legal and natural persons. This text further defines: training and educational issues for the needs of civil protection systems; civil protection financing; administrative and inspection supervision over the effective implementation of these rules; and other issues important for the Croatian civil protection system. Civil protection is a system of organizing participants, operational forces and citizens for the protection and rescue of people, animals, material and cultural goods and for the protection of environment in major disasters and catastrophes and for elimination of the consequences of terrorism and war destruction. Civil protection is of public interest for the Republic of Croatia and for its overall security.
