Civil Defence Emergency Handbooks

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 9th edition of the CDEH incorporates developments that were implemented in recent years, such as the Save-A-Life Initiative which aims to make AEDs more accessible to the public and the myResponder app (fire module). It also includes information on SGSecure, a national movement to enable our community to prevent and deal with terrorism.

In addition, the latest CDEH includes tips on how to perform “hands-only CPR” without mouth-to-mouth ventilation. When performed early, “hands-only CPR” has been found to be as effective in increasing a victim’s chance of survival as conventional CPR.

Other key updates include fire evacuation procedures and fire safety tips on the use of Active Mobility Devices.
