Emergency Management & Homeland Security

Back in the 1950s through the 1990s Civil Defense (CD) was the driving force to educate the public on how to respond to a disaster. With the development on the Department of Homeland Security, CD was absorbed and became part of the local Emergency Management Agency (EMA).
