Civil Defence today
Welcome
For many years, Britain has faced a variety of threats against its
peoples and government. We had the two World Wars, where the Police for
example evolved to check papers and man checkpoints. We had the Cold War
where the USSR was our greatest threat, with the potential for mass
devastation at the click of a button. Overshadowing this, was the presence
of terrorism in Northern Ireland, and since 9/11 | 7/7 we now face an
internal threat from extremism.
Britain has adapted to face these threats, and this site looks at how it is responding today, to the most relevant of these, mainly terrorism and the ever present threat of nuclear war.
