The History of ABC - Emergency Management

ABC - Emergency Management enjoys a long and prestigious past, originally established during World War II to protect the Citizens as the Office of Civil Defense. Known today as ABC - Emergency Management, we are working hard to publish an inclusive history page, with details, pictures, and quite a bit of information. While we are working on this page, we thought we would share with you some of our favorite historically related links,

This link is to the Fort Collins, Colorado Emergency Management History Page, our history closely parallels theirs, it is a very interesting page!

Another extremely interesting web site, developed to preserve the history of Civil Defense, is the Civil Defense Online Museum.

Please check back here often, we are working hard to publish our history page. This is an important project for us; too often details from the past are lost never to be heard of again, we do not want this to happen. We are honored to be among the few who have served Ashland, Boyd County and Catlettsburg as Emergency Managers, and Civil Defense Officials. To honor those who have come before us, we want this historical information project will be as detailed and informative as possible. The commitment of those who came before us, lives today, as we strive to be ready for what may come tomorrow.
