Abstract
Chapter 6 introduces and analyzes the collection of nine semistructured interviews with civil protection experts at local, provincial, and regional levels. These semistructured interviews were aimed at understanding the Civil Protection Voluntary Service during the past few decades, its changes in organization, and its prosocial culture. I decided to focus attention on local, provincial, and regional levels because in these contexts the Civil Protection Voluntary Service has various and fundamental activities, competencies, roles, and skills.
