Civil Defence General Command works under the supervision of MoI to safeguard lives, properties and environment. It plays a vital role in the industrial and commercial safety in the UAE.

Each emirate has its own civil defence department that assists in rescue missions, restoring life in disaster-struck areas back to normal and setting up volunteer teams and emergency units to support civil defence forces.
