Information about Federal Civil Defense Administration
The "Federal Civil Defense Administration" (FCDA) was organized by democratic president Harry S. Truman (1884-1972) on December 1, 1950, and became an official government agency in January 1951. The agency flooded the country with posters, programs, and information about communism and the threat of nuclear attacks. This included instructions for holding air raid drills in schools and detailed plans on how to build a bomb shelter. Nevertheless, experts ridiculed the agency as almost totally ineffective.
