From 1935 to 1971 civil defence in the United Kingdom was the responsibility of the Civil Defence Department. On the run-down of civil defence in 1971 the department was replaced by the Home Defence and Emergency Services Division of the Home Office. It was renamed the Emergency Planning Division in the late 1980s. The head was an Assistant Secretary.

Between 1957 and 1992 the Emergency Planning Division devolved civil nuclear defence to the department known as the United Kingdom Warning and Monitoring Organisation.

In 2001 responsibility was transferred from the Home Office to the Civil Contingencies Secretariat of the Cabinet Office.
