The report provides a concise and accessible historical overview of U.S. national preparedness efforts since World War I, identifying and analyzing key policy efforts, drivers of change, and lessons learned. While the report provides much critical information, it is not meant to be a substitute for more comprehensive historical and analytical treatments. It is hoped that the report will be an informative and useful resource for policymakers, those individuals interested in the history of what is today known as homeland security, and homeland security stakeholders responsible for the development and implementation of effective national preparedness policies and programs. 3 Introduction the Nation’s diverse communities, be carefully planned, capable of quickly providing From the air raid warning and plane spotting pertinent information to the populace about activities of the Office of Civil Defense in the imminent threats, and able to convey risk 1940s, to the Duck and Cover film strips and without creating unnecessary alarm. backyard shelters of the 1950s, to today’s all- hazards preparedness programs led by the The following narrative identifies some of the Department of Homeland Security, Federal key trends, drivers of change, and lessons strategies to enhance the nation’s learned in the history of U.S.

I need to thank my partner, Curt Scranton, for watching Baby Ike for hours on end and for giving a graduate student the best Valentine’s Day present possible—a trip to the Truman and Eisenhower libraries. He has been a sounding board for my many ideas, some good and some very bad, and has heard the “t word” more times than any partner should. I am grateful to my ever-inquisitive stepdaughter, Adelai, and am proud to become what she calls a “master.” Several friends deserve a round of applause and drinks for the many hours they babysat and listened to the trials of graduate school; they include Christine Greene, Jen Greene, Kendra Clauser, Steph Loyda, Jordan Scranton, Kristin Scranton and Rhona Stephanidis. I am thankful to my parents for their endless hours of babysitting, printer usage and relentless encouragement. To my brother, Michael Poletika, thank you for trudging through graduate school with me.
