Family Action Program (FCDA)
Family Action Program (FCDA) : "The Family Action Program was developed by FCDA during 1953 to carry the civil defensee story to the homes of the Nation. It is a program of home protection exercises giving each citizen the opportunity to participate directly in civil defense, and encourages every citizen to cooperate with the neighborhood civil defense groups. "As part of this individual- and family-action plan, a package of informational and educational materials has been prepared for club and organiation use. It includes a kit containing sample press releases, radio-TV spot announcements and scripts, speeches, and ideas for promoting community activities that tie in with the program. In addition there are twelve lesson plans and film strips for wardens. "A booklet of self-protection home exercises was developed and placed in the kit to help Americans meet the common problems arising from disaster. These seven family-action exercised are: (1) Preparing Your Shelter, (2) What To Do When the Alert Sounds, (3) Home Fire Protection, (4) Home Fire Fighting, (5) Emergency Action to Save Lives, (6) What To Do If Someone is Trapped, and (7) Safe Food and Water in Emergencies".
