National Conferences of Civil Defense
National Conferences of Civil Defense are participatory processes comprised by representatives of the government and society that aim to formulate public policies for civil defense. Such conferences should be convened by the Executive branch and are preceded municipal and state level stages. Face-to-face and virtual conferences are also held to increase the number of participants and raise the discussion on public policies, as well as to choose representatives for the conference?s national stage. As a result of the conference, a final document that contains the guidelines for public policies to be implemented by the state is approved. Since its first edition in 2010, two National Conferences of Civil Defense have been held.
