Civil Defence: Emergency Administrative Protocols

Born out of the fear and paranoia of the Human-Covenent war, in the shadow of devastation on a scale never before seen, a great number of colonial authorities (in anticipation of potential hostilities or the possibility of potential alien incursions) began work on a standardized means of delineating lines of command and authority in the event of civic emergencies; a gold standard designed to be applied across the board regardless of circumstance and context. A universally accepted gold-standard, as part of the reconstruction efforts, was meant to streamline and standardize the apparatuses of the state (and civilian/private assets), including but not limited to: Through incremental increases of colonial-sanctioned control over vital assets, personnel, and organizational infrastructure, it is hoped that the organizational hierarchy can be maintained through all manner of emergencies that may face colonial authorities. Be it the threat of an interstellar war, local natural disasters, or the threat of insurgencies, the streamlining and reorganization of local state control is designed to allow for the greatest efficacy in damage control and (if possible) the quickest return to normalcy as functionally possible. CD:EA Protocols are organized into alphanumeric codes, with each alphabetical code corresponding to the particular type of emergency faced, and the numeric code referring to the severity and subsequent corresponding organizational plan through which the extent of state-control, asset seizure, and reorganization is detailed.
