Civil defence (or civil defense) is a system used to protect the civilians of a state from coming under attack.
It involves plans for preparing for and responding to emergency situations, plans for evacuation, and plans for how to recover from attacks.
In some countries, civil defence is seen as an important part of military defence.
Programmes of this kind were first explored at least as early as the 1920s.
They have been used in many countries, especially since the threat of nuclear weapons has become known.
Since the end of the Cold War, the focus of civil defence has become more and more for disasters in general.
The new concept is described by a number of terms, each of which has its own specific meaning, such as crisis management, emergency management, emergency preparedness, emergency services, and civil protection.

She received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1923.
She was the third female to win the award.
Millay was also a feminist.
She used the name Nancy Boyd during her career.
Millay's fame began around 1912 when she entered a poem, "Renascence", in a contest in The Lyric Year.
On February 22, 1892, Edna St. Vincent Millay, one of the best American poets, was born in Rockland, Maine.
When she was eight years old, her mother Cora, left her father because he could not support the family; therefore, Cora raised her three daughters on her own and changed Millay’s future career in a huge way.
When she was a young girl, Millay decided to train her writing skills even though she moved many times and didn't have much money.
A few years later, they lived in Cora’s Aunt’s house, where she began writing her first poem.
How She Became an Author
Edna St. Vincent Millay became a famous author by adding the newest point of view with old ones to form a special American poetry.
Her first poem, “Forest Trees,” was written when she was fourteen and appeared in St. Nicholas Magazine.
Within the next four years, St. Nicholas published five more of her poems.
Three years later, her poem, “The Land of Romance,” got the gold award of The St. Nicholas League and was reprinted in Current Literature in April.
In 1913, she took several classes at Barnard College, where she prepared for moving to Vassar.
The days in Vassar College also changed Millay’s career.

She became a writer for Vassar Miscellany and a good school songwriter.
Until the year of 1917, Millay left a lot of work for Vassar College.
Influences on Her Writings
After Cora, Millay’s mother, left her husband, she raised her three children and helped them to learn American language arts by reading old books with them.
When Millay got older, she went to Vassar College, where she learned how to be a good poet.
In 1923, Millay married 43-year-old Eugen Jan Boissevain, who supported Millay’s career and took care of housework for her.
These events made Edna St. Vincent Millay a successful American writer.
Her Major Works
In her life, Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote a lot of plays and poetry collections.
The most famous one is "The Ballad of the Harp-Weaver."
This book won her the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1923.
Also, as a good writer, she wrote five plays early in her living.
For example, "The Lamp and the Bell" would be the best play she wrote in the 1920s.
Published in 1921, "The Lamp and the Bell" was a play written for Vassar College about love between women.
Moreover, she also wrote down "The King's Henchman" in 1927.

Her Influence on Society
During her 58 years of life, Edna St. Vincent Millay left many works that have made a change in American society.
She once said, “this book, when I am dead, will be a little faint perfume of me.
People who knew me well will say she really used to think that way.”
By leaving this famous sentence, Millay supported Americans to put out their thoughts in words.
In addition, she also made young Americans think that they had the ability to change the world by saying, “the young generation forms a country of its own.
It has no geographical boundaries. ...
These young people are going to do things.
They are going to change things."
She tried to change the society by supporting these young people to believe in themselves.
The End of Her Life
On October 19, 1950, Millay was found in her house, alone, without a breath.
Several years before, Millay had a nervous breakdown and stopped writing.
Although she slowly got better because of her husband’s care, her husband, Eugen Jan Boissevain, died in 1949 due to serious cancer.
One year after, Millay fell down in her house and was found eight hours after her death.
Later on, Nancy Milford, the writer who also wrote million-selling Zelda, published the first biography about Millay’s life in the book, Savage Beauty: The Life of Edna St Vincent Millay in 2001, giving the entire world a chance to get to know the life of this famous author.

Asiana Airlines Flight 214 was a passenger flight from Incheon International Airport, South Korea, to San Francisco International Airport, United States.
On July 6, 2013, the aircraft crash-landed at San Francisco International Airport.
There were 307 people (291 passengers and 16 crew) aboard the plane.
Two passengers were killed and 182 were hurt.
A third passenger also died, but it is possible that she survived the crash and was run over by a fire truck.
When the plane was coming in to land, the engines were idle and the plane was flying much slower than it should have been.
1.5 seconds before the plane crashed, the pilots tried a go-around, but they were too late.
The aircraft which crashed was a Boeing 777-200ER, and it had been used by Asiana Airlines since March 2006.
The crash was the first time anyone ever died aboard a Boeing 777.
The aircraft used on Flight 214 was a Boeing 777-28EER.
The plane's registration number was HL7742, and it had Pratt & Whitney PW4090 engines.
The plane was delivered to Asiana Airlines in March 2006.
The aircraft had flown for about 36,000 hours.
On July 6, 2013, Flight 214 took off from Incheon International Airport (ICN) at 5:04 p.m. KST (08:04 UTC), which was 34 minutes late.
It was supposed to land at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) at 11:04 a.m. PDT (18:04 UTC).
On July 6, 2013, at 11:26 PDT (18:26 UTC), the aircraft crashed at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) when it was landing.
It landed before the start of runway 28L, and it hit the seawall in San Francisco Bay.
The pilots wanted to approach the runway at 137 knots, but the flight data recorder showed that the speed was below this, and that the engines were idle during the approach.
When the plane crashed, both engines and the tail section were torn off the plane.
People who saw the crash said there was a fireball when the aircraft crashed.
There was a second, big explosion minutes after the crash.
Evacuation slides were used to get the passengers off the plane.
Even though the plane was damaged a lot, "many [...] were able to walk away on their own".
The Instrument Landing System (ILS) on runway 28L had been out of order since June 11.
Therefore, the planes were landed by the pilot, without a lot of help from the autopilot; the clear weather made it easier to do this.
Chesley Sullenberger, the pilot who saved US Airways Flight 1549, said that investigators would think about whether the ILS being unavailable could have helped the crash happen.
This was only the third fatal crash in Asiana's history.
It was also the first fatal airliner crash in the United States since the Colgan Air Flight 3407 crash in 2009.
Passengers and crew
Four pilots were on board the plane.
The pilots flying when the plane crashed were Lee Jeong-min, who has flown for 12,387 hours (3,220 with the 777) and Lee Kang-kook, who has flown for 9,793 hours, according to the South Korean transport ministry.
Lee Kang-kook being trained to fly the 777, and this was his first landing at San Francisco in the aircraft.
However, he had landed at San Francisco before in a Boeing 747.
Lee Kang-kook only had 43 hours of experience with the 777 before the crash.
Chief of San Francisco Fire Department, Joanne Hayes-White, said that two people died.
Both of them were Chinese and 16 years old.
Both of their bodies were found outside the plane.
Only one person was missing.
Before this, it was thought that 60 people were missing.
Later, Hayes-White said that everyone had been found.
Seventy students and teachers going to the United States for summer camp were among the Chinese passengers.
Thirty of the students and teachers were from Shanxi, and the others were from Zhejiang.
Five of the teachers and 29 of the students were from Jiangshan High School in Zhejiang.
They were traveling in one group.
35 of the students were going to a West Valley Christian School summer camp.
Several passengers noticed how close the plane was to the Bay when it was coming in to land.
This caused the water to jump up when the engines were powered up just before the crash.
When the plane hit the ground, it was said that the oxygen masks dropped right away.
After the aircraft stopped, some passengers said that there were sparks inside the cabin.
Just after the crash, the pilots told the flight crew not to evacuate the passengers.
However, the pilots later told them to evacuate, and the crew did so quickly.
The crew also helped several passengers who could not escape the plane alone.
One of the pilots carried out a passenger with an injured leg.
During the evacuation, a fire began in the cabin, near the 10th row.
One of the pilots put it out.
Two of the escape slides shot into the cabin instead of outside of it.
The first escape slide blocked one of the exits and almost suffocated a flight attendant.
One of the pilots burst it with an axe from the cockpit.
The second went towards the middle of the aircraft, where there was a fire.
It trapped another flight attendant, but a pilot burst it with a knife.
The National Transportation Safety Board has started an investigation.
An NTSB team has been sent to San Francisco.
Asiana CEO Yoon Young-Doo said "Currently we understand that there were no engine or mechanical problems."
It is thought that the plane was too low when it was coming in to land and hit the seawall.
The NTSB said that it looked like the pilots were flying too slowly while approaching the runway.
The sound of the stick shaker (when the yoke vibrates to warn pilots that the plane may stall) could be heard about 4 seconds before the crash on the cockpit voice recorder.
The crew tried a go-around 1.5 seconds before the plane hit the ground and the engines seemed to have worked fine.
On July 7, 2013, NTSB investigators found the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder.
They were moved to Washington, D.C. to be analysed.
The NTSB said that the pilots tried to stop the landing and go around 1.5 seconds before the crash.
The coroner of San Mateo County, Robert Foucrault, is doing an autopsy on the people who died.
He and someone from the fire department have said that one of the girls who died might have survived the crash but might have been killed after being run over by a fire truck.
The airport was closed for about five hours after the crash.
Flights which were going to San Francisco were told to land somewhere else.
Some of the other airports the planes landed at were Sacramento, Los Angeles and Seattle.
By 3:30 PDT (22:30 UTC), runways 01L/19R and 01R/19L were open again.
However, the runway the accident happened on 28L and the one next to it (28R) stayed closed.
About 24 hours later, runway 10L/28R was opened again.
