The Federal Civil Defense Administration, or '''FCDA''', was establised by President Harry S. Truman to show the public how they could survive a nuclear war, if they were prepared. It caused many Americans to build bomb shelters in their backyards. The primary goal of the FCDA is to preserve the United States Government in the event of catastrophic attack or disaster, not to preserve the population of the country. Only high-ranking government officials are allowed into the shelters. The largest underground shelter in America was built by the FCDA in Denton, Texas . This massive underground project incorporated a vast network of underground salt caves. |
