The Plan DN-III-E or Civil Relief and Aid Plan for Disasters (Spanish: Plan de Auxilio a la Población Civil en Casos de Desastre) is a series of measures implemented primarily by the Mexican Ministry of National Defense, specifically the Mexican Army and the Mexican Air Force organized as a body under the name of Support Force for Disaster (FACD). This acts in response to a disastrous situation that affects or could affect a large group of civilians in Mexico and, in some cases, abroad. It is also known as the 3rd Army mission entrusted to safeguard and protect civilians in case of disaster.
This is based on the provisions of the Civil Protection Act, the National Development Plan and the Organic Law of the Mexican Army and Air Force, all under the coordination of the National Civil Protection System (SINAPROC).[1][2]
