Citizen Disaster Education and Preparedness 2 (1953)
Citizen Disaster Education and Preparedness 2 (1953) :
An informed people is a strong people. The Federal Civil Defense Administration will continue to bring Americans the facts about the ever-present threat to their homes and families, and practical instructions on how to meet that threat. Given the facts, no matter how harsh, I am confident tht my fellow citizens - and their elected representatives in local, State and national positions of responsibility - will know how to act promptly and courageiously for the greater security of all. (FCDA, 1953 Annual Report, p. 6) The demonstrated usefulness of civil defense in natural disasters has helped convince many skeptics that trained, self-reliant citizens and communites organized for both self-help and mutual assistance, are tood things to have - just in case. (FCDA, 1953 Annual Report, p. 67)
