Strategic Plan 2010 - 2013
A Strategy Statement is a forward looking document that serves as a framework for action by the organisation. The Civil Defence Board is obliged under the Civil Defence Act, 2002 to submit a Strategic Plan for Civil Defence every 3 years from the anniversary of the establishment of the Board (May 7th, 2003) to the Minister for Defence for approval.
The Board recognises the importance of Strategic Planning as essential for the future development and growth of the Civil Defence organisation. This Plan will act as a roadmap for our members and stakeholders as to where the Civil Defence organisation sees itself in 2013.
Mission Statement
“To promote, develop and maintain Civil Defence as an effective volunteer based professional organisation providing emergency response and community support services”. |

Forward by Chairman
As Chairman of the Civil Defence Board it is my great privilege to introduce the Board’s third Strategic Plan, which sets out the strategy for the Civil Defence Organisation for the period 2010 to 2013. Back in 2003, the Board was established by Order of the Minister for Defence. The Order delegated responsibility for the management and development of the Civil Defence Organisation at National Level to the Board and it has been a great pleasure to oversee the many positive developments that have occurred since my appointment in 2005.
Introducing this Strategic Plan affords me an opportunity to extend the Board’s sincere gratitude to the Minister, Secretary General and the staff of the Department of Defence for their co-operation, which has been crucial in the recent development of the Civil Defence organisation.
I would also like to thank my colleagues on the Civil Defence Board and its Committees, the Local Authorities, staff of the Board, Civil Defence Officers and all the volunteer members of Civil Defence.
As Chairman, I look forward to working with all of you to ensure the successful implementation of this Plan up to 2013. Working together we can bring about real and fundamental change which will fulfil our vision for Civil Defence as a respected organisation with professionally trained and effective members providing valued and appreciated support to our Communities and the Emergency Services.
Mr. Joe Meagher
Chairman
