The mission of The American Civil Defense association (TACDA) is to provide education, products, and resources that empower American citizens to protect themselves, their families, and their communities in emergencies and disasters of all kinds, including nuclear, biological, chemical, and natural disasters. We believe a comprehensive understanding of preparedness strategies is essential to survival and peace of mind.
The Journal of Civil Defense began publication in the early 1960’s when TACDA was organized. Back then the Journal was called “Survive”. For almost 60 years TACDA has been publishing articles on a wide variety of civil defense topics, boasting the greatest selection of survival information and tactics under one organization. Articles are carefully selected and are written by scholars, military professionals, emergency personnel, and experts on civil defense.
The Journal of Civil Defense topics include:
It’s TIME to PREPARE!
Journals are mailed twice a year (in April and October) and include an invitation link to our monthly civil defense meetings via Zoom!
