"Our mission is empowerment of the common man by providing him the skills and resources to defend himself & others in the face of any attack/ calamity. Civil Defence which is a voluntary service is primarily geared up to save lives, to minimize damage to properties, maintain continuity of production & to keep up the high morale of public during any hostile attack."

"Mitigating Disaster effectively is another endeavor of Civil Defence in recent times. Efforts are on to revamp Civil Defence Organisation to widen its scope with a view to strengthen its role in Disaster management. We value our most important resource - our volunteers - and help to create a culture that promotes team work to achieve efficiency, effectiveness and operational synergy in facing the challenges. The appropriate course of action will be empowerment of the common man and capacity building to meet any natural or man made disaster. This would constantly strive to make Jammu & Kashmir a safer place."
