Switzerland: Civil protection staff will be reinforced

The numbers serving in civil protection must be strengthened. The Federal Council wants an extension of the obligation to serve. Those required to do civil service could also lend a helping hand. He sent his project to Parliament on Wednesday.

Civil protection is faced with understaffing. Without measures, a reduction in benefits is to be expected (archives).

The main idea is to extend the obligation to serve in civil protection to certain people required to perform military service and to certain former military personnel. At the same time, people required to perform civil service may be forced to carry out part of their service within an understaffed civil protection organization.

Civil protection organizations in cantons where the PC is understaffed will now be recognized as civil service assignment establishments. If all other means of the CP have not made it possible to fill the understaffing, persons required to serve in civil service may be required to complete a maximum of 80 days of their obligation to serve in such an organization of the CP.
