Poland emergency services & civil defense updates

Overview

Poland is significantly advancing its civil defense through large-scale legislative, technological, and educational initiatives. The government has adopted the Population Protection and Civil Defense Program for 2027–2031, a 102.4 billion PLN initiative, with approximately 30 billion PLN earmarked for regional crisis preparedness, including the construction of shelters and the securing of critical utilities.

Technological upgrades are underway to modernize warning systems. The Ministry of Interior and Administration is moving to introduce the Cell Broadcast system, intended to turn mobile phones into active alarms by 2027. However, recent nationwide ‘ALARM-26’ exercises revealed critical vulnerabilities; in the Lubelskie Voivodeship, roughly one-third of sirens were inoperable, with some municipalities lacking functioning air raid sirens entirely.

Emergency services continue intensive operational training, including ‘Wind Strike 26’ in Silesia, ‘DECON 2’ in Lublin, and ‘UNIMOT 2026’ in Czechowice-Dziedzice.

Public education has expanded into formal school curricula. The Ministry of National Education and the Institute of Educational Research (IBE) have proposed reforms to the ‘Education for Safety’ (EdB) curriculum, shifting toward practical training such as firearm use at professional ranges, responding to drone threats, and using gas masks. Proposed regulations also include mandatory biannual evacuation drills and expanded inspection rights for school directors. While these face criticism regarding funding and teacher licensing, the Ministry of Education has launched the ‘Wiedza moją Tarczą’ (Knowledge is my Shield) safety guides for various age groups. Additionally, the sixth edition of the ‘Edukacja z wojskiem’ (Education with the Military) program, a joint effort between defense and education ministries, has already reached nearly 600,000 students across 13,000 schools.
