Being part of the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, the Secretariat-General for Civil Protection is the national body responsible for the implementation of the Civil Protection Volunteering System.

The Civil Protection Volunteering System includes volunteer organisations whose mission is to assist competent State agencies to fulfil their mission, which consists in the protection of the life, health and property of citizens, as well as of the environment and cultural heritage from potential or ongoing natural, technological or man-made disasters that trigger emergency situations in times of peace.

The Secretariat-General for Civil Protection keeps the ‘Single Register of Civil Protection Volunteering’. In this context, volunteer organisations that meet the necessary requirements are included in the ‘Register of Volunteer Civil Protection Organisations’ and their members in the ‘Register of Civil Protection Volunteers’, thus strengthening the potential of Civil Protection.

For comprehensive and up-to-date information on civil protection volunteering in Greece, see the website of the Ministry of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection at: https://civilprotection.gov.gr/ethelontismos.
