Summary/Abstract: The civil protection of the Republic of Moldova represents a system of measures and actions, undertaken on the scale of the entire state in times of peace and war in order to ensure the protection of the population and property in the conditions of natural and ecological calamities, accidents and catastrophes, epiphytotia, epizootics, epidemics, fires, as well as in the case of the application of means of mass destruction. On November 9, 1994, the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova adopted the Law "On Civil Protection", which establishes the fundamental principles of organizing civil protection in the republic, its tasks, the legal framework of the activity in this field of public authorities, enterprises, institutions and organizations regardless of the type of ownership and organizational-legal form. In October 2001, the European Commission established the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. The Mechanism aims to strengthen cooperation between the EU countries and 10 participating states on civil protection to improve prevention, preparedness, and response to disasters. When an emergency hits, any country can request assistance via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. The Commission plays a key role in coordinating the disaster response worldwide, contributing to at least 75% of the transport and/or operational costs of deployments.
