Awareness saves lives. - (not affiliated with this historic civilian organization)
One of the best ways to enlighten you neighbors about Emergency Preparedness is to host short lectures about ways to mitigate the effects of a possible emergency. Condominium community buildings, 4-H clubhouses, and public library meeting rooms are some great places to hold such meetings, or you could simply invite a few neighbors to your home for coffee and an informal talk. Attendees will be especially interested if the talk includes example objects and the subject matter relates to the current season, so to keep Emergency Preparedness in the forefront of their minds, it is a good idea to give several targeted lectures and educational demonstrations throughout the year.

In regards to civilian defense focused agencies cited in the media archived here...
The military styled "Office of Civilian Defense" (OCD) was active only for the duration of WWII. With the onset of the 1950s, Civil Defense was reestablished as the "Federal Civil Defense Administration" (FCDA). At the start of the 1960s the agency was briefly renamed the " Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization" (OCDM), before being shortened to just the "Office of Civil Defense" (also OCD). In the 1970s, the agency was again renamed as the "Defense Civil Preparedness Agency" (DCPA). The DCPA was absorbed by the "Federal Emergency Management Agency" (FEMA), which was itself merged into the "Department of Homeland Security".
