CIVIL DEFENCEKnowing what to do during civil emergenciesThe Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) recruits and trains civil defence volunteers in first aid, rescue and evacuation procedures, and shelter management. The SCDF also conducts talks and exercises to familiarise the public with basic first aid, the nearest bomb shelters and emergency arrangements like relief supply of critical items such as blood, water and food. Participating in such exercises helps us be prepared. When we know what to do, we can help to save life and property and also, ensure that life goes on as normally as possible in time of crisis.
Being vigilant and alert at all times The threat of global terrorism will be long drawn. While much has been done to make Singapore a hard target, the government security agencies cannot be everywhere. Singaporeans can help by being on the lookout for anything suspicious.
