Civil Defence is a national community organisation that relies solely on the commitment and dedication of local volunteers. Central and Local Government finance the organisation. It is a multi-disciplined force and is always part of the local Authorities response to emergencies, and as a backup to the other emergency services.

The primary role of the Organisation is the saving of lives and the alleviation of suffering in times of war. Its secondary role is to assist at emergency and non-emergency situations during peace time.

Roscommon County Council is responsible for the Civil Defence service in the county. The Council's Civil Defence Officer, Mr Ray Dunne, is based in the Fire Station Roscommon; all other Civil Defence personnel are volunteers.
