The Civil Defence Emergency Handbook (CDEH) is one of the primary means through which the SCDF reaches out to all segments of the population. It aims to equip our readers with essential life-saving skills in times of emergency.

The 10^th edition of the CDEH highlights key enhancements under the Save-A-Life initiative, particularly the Lifesavers’ Emergency Point (LEP). With multi-agency support, SCDF is installing AEDs and dry powder extinguishers at HDB lift lobbies to provide residents better access to lifesaving equipment. 

Additionally, this edition addresses evolving risks, including fire safety tips involving Active Mobility Devices, as well as adverse weather and natural hazards. New topics include Emergency Alert (SG Alert), Alternative Care Options for Non-Emergencies, Improvised Cover at Home, and updated In-Place Protection procedures.
