The Saudi Civil Defense(Arabic: الدفاع المدني السعودي) is an organization established in Saudi Arabia with the primary aim of protecting the public and responding to emergencies, natural disasters, and other incidents that pose a risk to the safety of the people. It is a government agency that operates under the Ministry of Interior and has been operating for over six decades.
The history of Saudi Civil Defense can be traced back to 1953 when the Directorate of Civil Defense was established. It was initially established to provide fire safety services, but over the years, its scope has expanded to include other emergency response services. In 1972, the Directorate of Civil Defense was restructured and reorganized, and it became the General Directorate of Civil Defense.
