The American Civil Defense Association (TACDA) is a member supported, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, civil defense-focused organization founded in 1962. Its primary focus is to educate its membership on emergencies, both manmade and natural disasters through various resources.[4][5] The organization operates the free TACDA Academy and prints a periodical called Journal of Civil Defense.[6] TACDA also sells emergency supplies, such as dosimeters, water purification equipment, emergency rations, and CERT equipment.[7][8][9]
In a letter dated October 19, 1988, then sitting president Ronald Reagan praised the work of TACDA.[10]
