Civil Emergency and Defense Agency

CEDA (Civil Emergency and Defense Agency) is an agency of the United States government organization. Since 1988, the Civil Emergency and Defense Agency has protected millions of Americans from terrifying consequences of natural and manmade disasters and is responsible for responding to disasters and assisting in the recovery. The governor of the state in which the disaster occurs must declare a state of emergency and formally request from the president that CEDA and the federal government respond to the disaster.

Mission

CEDA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from and mitigate all hazards.
