The Civil Defence Corps (CDC) was a civilian volunteer organisation established in Great Britain in 1949 to take control in the aftermath of a nuclear attack. It was stood down in Great Britain in 1968, although the Isle of Man Civil Defence Corps is still active. Civil defence corps also still exist in the Republic of Ireland, Australia (renamed the State Emergency Service in 1975) and New Zealand.
