An Overview

Federal Civil Defense Administration was started in 1951. After the administration of President Kennedy abruptly ended, it was not funded adequately by our government. The American Civil Defense Association was organized in 1962 by several individuals that recognized our country’s continued need for civil defense and the importance of personal emergency and disaster preparedness.
