Emergency Organization Department
As the coordination center for all management bodies and partner organizations, we coordinate efforts for nuclear, biological, chemical and natural incidents, and for the cantonal command personnel in the canton of Zug. We also train management bodies and assist in incident follow-up.

About us
Special and extraordinary situations necessitate an emergency organization. This consists of essential management teams, the Cantonal Incident-Management Staff (KFS), and the Communal Incident-Management Staff (GFS). The emergency organization manages the funds of the canton and its municipalities.
Our support center prepares the emergency organization, excluding tasks that fall under the purview of a command staff or another department.
Cantonal Incident-Management Staff (KFS)
The canton handles special and extraordinary situations, excluding those that are the responsibility of the municipalities. To prepare and implement the necessary measures, the Zug Governing Council has established a cantonal incident-management staff. The cantonal incident-management staff in Zug advises the authorities, implements the ordered measures and coordinates the deployment of all resources.
Communal Incident-Management Staff (GFS)
The municipalities deal with special and extraordinary situations in the municipal areas. The municipal authorities have communal incident-management staff to prepare for and implement the necessary measures during special and extraordinary situations. The Communical Incident-Management Staff advises the municipal authorities, executes the ordered measures and coordinates the allocation of resources in the municipality.
