We operate globally for civil protection and strengthening societal resilience
The International Centre for Civic and Societal Security (ICCSS) is a global non-profit organization whose mission is to reinforce the resilience of societies, protect the public, and ensure comprehensive security. Our activities are based on combining international strategies with the practical implementation of solutions at the local level, to prepare communities worldwide to effectively face complex threats. At ICCSS, we believe that security is the result of collaboration among many stakeholders – governments, industry, academia, societal organizations, and local communities. Our approach features integration, multilateral cooperation, innovation, and responsibility for both the environment and people. We strive for every community to have the knowledge, tools, and competencies not only to survive crises but also to actively participate in building its own safety and resilience.
