However, its formula is outdated, and reforms carried out over the decades, especially after the political transformation, did not bring satisfactory results. The purpose of the article is, by using a method of critical analysis of the literature on the subject as well as normative acts and post-audit reports, a synthetic presentation of the process of these changes, an indication of how they affected the current condition of the Civil Defense and proposing a solution based on proven foreign standards, after being adapted to domestic conditions, will allow for the restoration of CD functionality and will unambiguously end long-term competence disputes related to the possibility of using it in an emergency.
