HISTORY
The association was founded in 1920 and was at that time called "Umeå Flygskyddsklubb" (The airprotecion club of Umeå)
The amount of members have throughout the years been variating and the movement have been at the bottom and at the top from times to times.
During the years of war 1938-1940, the activity was larger. Education in Selfprotection and Safety in the home existed in a larger scale than the years before and after the war. The preparedness in the home was big, selfproviding cultivating of vegetables etc.
The committees have throughout the years more or less been composed of ex-militarys until 1992.
We have about 130 members
We are a non-profit-making association and have regulations to go after.
We have a budget. We are planning the activities of the association every year. We have a misson from the community of Umeå and the Civil Defence League of Sweden to educate 1 % of the habitants of Umeå in "Safety and survival", Selfprotection.
