The Maryland Civil Defense Agency is established under the Mary-
land Civil Defense Act of 1949, as amended. It succeeded the Council
for Defense established by the Legislature in 1941. The Director is
appointed by the Governor. The Agency prepares for, and in the event
of enemy attack or certain natural disasters, coordinates emergency
functions other than those for which military forces are responsible,
to minimize and repair injury and damage resulting from such dis-
asters. The Agency cooperates with the Federal Government, the
governments of other states, and political subdivisions of this State in
organizing and coordinating civil defense functions. It represents the
State in the procurement of supplies and equipment for civil defense
purposes under the Federal matching funds and surplus property pro-
grams. The Director is responsible to the Governor for the coordina-
tion of the State's disaster relief operations in the event of the decla-
ration of a "major disaster" within Maryland under the provisions of
Federal law (Code 1957, Art. 41, sees. 232-43; Art. 75C, sec. 7).

The Civil Defense Advisory Council is appointed by the Governor,
and its members serve without compensation. The Council advises the
Governor and the Director in civil defense matters.
