National Catastrophe Relief Auxiliary

The National Catastrophe Relief Auxiliary were a group supposedly dispatched a day before the the war, in which nurses and other medical personnel were deployed and placed on alert in the event of a catastrophe. It is unknown whether the U.S. government had a warning about upcoming events or it was just a coincidental drill, although it would explain why the streets of Washington D.C. were empty when the bombs dropped. However, when their leader, Nancy Kroydon, died of radiation poisoning shortly after the war, the movement fell apart. The fate of the rest of the group remains a mystery, but it is likely that they fell victim to the nuclear fallout, or that they were separated and eventually integrated into the settlements that arose following the aftermath of the war.
