Civil Protection
Day 2024
The joint Civil Protection Day of the federal and state authorities will take place on 21st September in Wiesbaden. This year, the event will be organised by the Federal Government, represented by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community and the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (abbrev: BBK), in cooperation with the federal state of Hesse, represented by the Hesse Ministry of the Interior, Security and Homeland Defence.
Following the great success of the first Civil Protection Day in Potsdam in 2023, which drew more than 13,000 visitors, this year’s Civil Protection Day will be held in the historic city centre of Wiesbaden, bringing together numerous stakeholders in fire protection, civil protection and disaster management.
Apart from the BBK, fire services, relief organisations and the Federal Agency for Technical Relief, the event in Wiesbaden will also feature other institutions and organisations as well as other federal states and federal ministries, bringing together many important players in the area of civil protection.
