ABOUT TACDA
A BRIEF HISTORY:
TACDA was formed in the early 1960's in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Cold War with the Soviet Union. Shortly after the F.D.R. administration dissolved the national civil defense program and redirected its funds elsewhere, TACDA was organized by several individuals that realized America's vulnerabilities to all types of natural and manmade disasters and its need for protection from their potential threats.
TACDA's PURPOSE:
The purpose of The American Civil Defense Association (TACDA) is to teach and promote civil defense in America.
Mission Statement:
The mission of The American Civil Defense Association (TACDA) is to effectively provide information, tools and resources that empower American Citizens with a comprehensive understanding of reasonable preparedness strategies and techniques; promoting a self-reliant, pro-active approach to protecting themselves, their families and their communities in the event of Nuclear, Biological, Chemical or other manmade and natural disasters.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
TACDA currently has Three (3) main areas in which we focus our attention and efforts. These include:
- Informational Services - We strive to alert our members about existing dangers and potential threats relating to both manmade and natural disasters and emergencies. These include, but are not limited to, nuclear, chemical, biological and pandemic threats, national security and defense issues and developments, domestic terrorism issues, natural and environmental threats, as well as current and relevant events abroad. TACDA's main methods of alerting our members and the public to such issues are through the continual development of our web site, and through the quarterly distribution of the Journal of Civil Defense, the official publication of The American Civil Defense Association.
- Resource Availability - In addition to providing our members with information on valid threats and practical preparedness solutions, we also work hard to assist them in their efforts to equip and empower themselves to be prepared for all types of natural and manmade disasters and emergency situations, before they occur by providing access to solution-oriented preparedness supplies and resources that will help enable them to prepare for potential emergencies, not only physically, but psychologically and emotionally as well. Visit our online catalog for more information about the products and supplies that we offer...
- Local Chapters - TACDA provides opportunities for our members to meet together and share their knowledge and experiences related to disaster and emergency preparedness through our local chapter program. Although TACDA is primarily an online-based organization, humans have social needs. People want to get together with other like-minded people that share their same interests, concerns and beliefs - not only on the web, but face-to-face as well. This is why we have created the local chapter program. All TACDA members are encouraged to participate in a local chapter of The American Civil Defense Association (TACDA).
