Abstract:

Records of the Zone A Emergency Government Office, one of five zones in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin charged with emergency management. The bulk of the records date between 1963 and 1980. Zones were created to pool the resources of each community's civil defense related activities, hence the administrative records largely document this coordination and include documentation of partnerships with other civil defense organizations. Included are agreements, minutes, and correspondence for the administration of Zone A, annexes related to the zone's emergency operating plan, and minutes and correspondence for civil defense organizations outside of Zone A for which the Zone A director, Robert Cavey, was a member. The organizations most represented are the Southeast Area, Wisconsin Division of Emergency Government; the United States Civil Defense Council; and the Wisconsin Civil Defense and Disaster Association. The director's subject files consist of information collected by the director to assist in his Zone A work.
