The head of the Passive Defense and Crisis Management group of Qom Municipality said that the Passive Defense Week programs have started in Qom, including training and execution of maneuvers.
Mehdi Barzoui made the remarks referring to the beginning of Passive Defense Week.
Today, the field of security has expanded a lot, and we need to pay attention to the field of passive defense with knowledge and insight, and people should also get enough knowledge about this issue, he stated.
He addressed the goals of forming passive defense and added, “Increasing safety and security needs to pay more attention to passive defense, and we should put the securing of vital centers, quantitative and qualitative development of human resources and creating public belief about the effect of passive defense in reducing vulnerability on the agenda.”
In active defense, only the armed forces are involved, while in passive defense, all institutions, forces, organizations, industries, and even ordinary people can play an effective role, he underscored.
