What changed
This law creates an integrated civil protection and emergency management system for the Community of Madrid, replacing the 2003 framework. It defines roles for the regional and local administrations, regulates emergency plans and coordination protocols, establishes the rights and obligations of citizens and volunteers in emergencies, and sets out the regional emergency management body and its operational structure.
Who is affected
The law applies to the regional and municipal governments and their emergency services, as well as to residents who may be required to comply with civil protection plans or evacuations. Businesses operating in Madrid may be subject to self-protection obligations.
What to look out for
→ Businesses operating facilities that require mandatory self-protection plans under the regional regulations should review whether their existing plans must be updated to comply with the new integrated framework.
