The mayor of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski has said that he will work alongside the Polish government on the creation of a new civil defense act, explaining that although the city has basic shelters, such act is needed in the event of an attack from Russia.
“We have, of course, prepared basic shelters and basic information, however, to do this in an ideal manner, we need a civil defense act, which has not been in place in recent years,” he told TOK FM commercial radio station.
Trzaskowski added that the minister of national defense, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, and the head of the ministry of interior and administration, Marcin Kierwiński, had already announced work on the act and that he would work together with them on implementing it.
At the beginning of February, Kosiniak-Kamysz stressed the importance of introducing a new civil defense act which the previous government had replaced with a homeland defense act back in 2022.
At a meeting with the national defense committee, he said: “The lack of rules, procedures in the event of an alarm, coordinators and cooperation with local governments could lead to a disaster.”
