The Maryland Civil Defense Agency was established by the Mary-
land Civil Defense Act of 1949. The Director of the agency is
appointed by the Governor. The agency is charged with the prepara-
tion for and the carrying out of emergency functions, other than func-
tions for which military forces are primarily responsible, to minimize
and repair injury and damage from disasters caused by enemy attack,
sabotage or other hostile action, or by fire, flood, earthquake or other
natural causes. The agency is also authorized to cooperate with the
Federal government, the governments of other states and local politi-
cal sub-divisions of this State in organizing and coordinating civil
defense plans. The General Assembly of 1951 authorized the Board
of Public Works to issue bonds in the aggregate sum of $1,000,000.00,
the proceeds thereof to be used for certain necessary equipment, sup-
plies, land, buildings and payment of certain necessary salaries and
operating costs in connection with Civil Defense.
