The NOCP also engages in prevention activities, including contributing to both the national plan and regional schemes to prevent disaster, and therefore to prepare response. Part of this involves raising citizen awareness in prevention, as well as teaching people about civil protection and providing instruction in first aid.
The organization is involved in scientific research, taking part in formation, evaluation and studies within civil protection and disaster prevention; it also provides free interventions and services for state and public institutions. A further role is to contribute towards cross-disciplinary cooperation, and international co-operation.
The NOCP has around 6,000 personnel, spread across several departments, including Inspections; Central operations; Serious risk management; Preventive services; Equipment and resources; Public relations; and Information Technology. It also has departments responsible for personnel, financial management, accounting, legal studies and conflict resolution, internal audits and commercial activities. Furthermore, it has established the National School of Civil Protection.
