Civil Defense Administration

The Civil Defense Administration was a government agency of the United States of America. The agency was tasked with teaching civilians the skills needed for surviving a nuclear holocaust. One of the agency's mascots was the kid-friendly Bert the Turtle who was featured on one of the posters practicing "Duck and Cover!" This agency advocated the use of air raid shelters during a nuclear strike.

A poster created for this agency, that of a man holding a shovel asking, "Where will YOU be when the Holocaust comes?", is copied onto a slide for the Vault Dweller's Survival Guide.

Behind the scenes
This agency is a homage to the Federal Civil Defense Administration of the 1950's. The poster of Bert the Turtle has been modified slightly with the addition of the CDA's symbol.
