Moreover, the Civil Protection Base under the Ministry of Defence operates at the national level to respond to natural and other disasters and will be used for special rescue and other urgent operations to reinforce and ensure adequate response to emergencies. Article 27 sets forth the obligation of each citizen of Albania to participate in the civil emergency planning and response system. In addition, the economic entities and institutions which use, produce, transport or store hazardous substances in their activities shall be obliged to plan, organize and implement services for responding to emergencies within their area of activity.
