Advertisements:
Edit
Throughout the campaigns, advertisements from CEDA can be seen advising citizens to wear face
masks, wash their hands, and seal their windows and other openings with plastic sheeting and duct
tape to prevent the spread of the Infection. At one point, CEDA began to inform the public on how to
build saferooms and where to seek shelter as well as "Safety Checklists," which instruct residents to
barricade themselves in their basements and wait for help to arrive. The posters displayed in game
can be seen in the CEDA gallery below. In Left 4 Dead 2, CEDA also uses Solar Portable Message
Signs to help with the evacuation. Instead of placing evacuation notices on buildings (as seen in Left
4 Dead), these trailers can be seen near highways and roadways informing any survivors to head to
the location displayed on the digital sign.

Security Firm:

An infected

Added by
DeathBlade182
When the Infection was spreading out of control and the public started to find out the truth behind the
Infection and how bad the situation was getting, everyone started to panic and began rioting, causing
chaos. CEDA hired a private security firm to help with local law enforcement and the agency to help
maintain control. The security officers wore protective gear such as helmets, bulletproof padding, and
used nightsticks instead of firearms (due to CEDA Management Policies) to help maintain control of
the public. They helped keep crowds organized and under control at evacuation centers while
stopping rioters from causing chaos until the Infection hit. With the officers dealing with the public, it
was difficult for them to tell who was infected and who wasn't; therefore, it was easy for the security
officers to succumb to the Infection.
Evacuation Centers:
Edit
When the Infection first began, CEDA first tried to contain the virus by quarantining the infected
individuals from the public by keeping them in isolated buildings. However, this method was
unsuccessful. With the Infection raging out of control and multiple victims becoming infected, CEDA
then had to take the next step of full town and city evacuations. CEDA then began setting up
evacuation centers around major urban centers such as hospitals, arenas, or malls where people
were "forced" to go and await further instruction. A CEDA representative would assess the evacuation
centers and provide hourly updates over all radio frequencies of the current conditions; however, it is
presumed that the infected individuals also made their way to those locations and quickly almost
every evacuation center was overrun by the Infected.

center cities in the Northeast quadrant according to The Sacrifice, CEDA announced for
civilians to make their way there. The military most likely aided in keeping the city secure
and safe, but once again, as seen in The Hotel in Dead Center, CEDA failed yet again.
Evacuation Transports:
Edit
Throughout the Left 4 Dead series, several different types of evacuation vehicles were used to evac
refugees from high-risk areas of Infection (or hot zones) to areas that are much more secure and
Infection-free. CEDA was able to commandeer vehicles and resources in order to help benefit the
evacuation. Larger vehicles such as buses and trucks were used by CEDA to evacuate people due to
the large capacity they can hold and wanting to keep people together; however, these methods of
transport were also the slowest and can spread easier, which gave the advantage to the Infected and

allowed the Infection to spread quicker. Also, CEDA stated on the medical timetable chart (seen in
The Vannah) that two CEDA EVWS must accompany all transport vehicles (see poster below); this
was most likely a safety precaution implemented by CEDA to keep track of all refugees and watch for
signs of sickness and the infected (which turned out to be very little of help as every locale is
overrun). Below are some of the transports seen throughout both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2.

Research
Edit
It's not apparent how much CEDA knows about the Infection, though it doesn't seem to be much.
However, they definitely have done some research on it. They believed the Infection may be airborne
(this assumption supported by a Doctor who states sometimes it is airborne, but not other times) and
think the disease might come from livestock. Out of all the Special Infected, they appear to have the
most knowledge about the Boomer. They have been able to manufacture jars of Boomer bile and
there is a research poster about the Boomer in Dead Center which includes photographs of it (as
seen in the picture). There is little or no mention of other Special infected by CEDA; however, in The
Sacrifice DLC, it was revealed that CEDA had in fact captured a live Tank specimen from Rayford,
Georgia. In The Hotel, there is a pie chart that may state the names of the Special Infected, but it
might be too blurry.
Boomer Bile:
Edit
"Give the infected a taste of their own medicine with this CEDA-developed gastrointestinal
projectile. Any zombie you soak with this puk e grenade will be swarmed by common infected."

may strictly be for gameplay and may not reflect the abilities of CEDA).
Common Infected:
Edit
CEDA most likely spent most of their time and efforts on researching the sickness in the general
public since the majority of the population displays the most common symptoms of the Green Flu
virus. Civilians that died due to the sickness or Infected that were shot by the military (to stop the
spread of the disease) were zipped up in CEDA biohazard body bags and were transported and given
to CEDA research areas/labs in an effort to gain more knowledge of the virus and possibly find a cure
however, due to the severity of the sickness and the lack of time as well as constant mobility and
moving, they weren't able to pursue much research into it. They created very loose base conclusions
on this research stating that "Clean Hands Save Lives" can help prevent Infection when, in fact, the
doctor at Millhaven contradicted this prevention method as he stated that sometimes the virus
randomly mutates into an airborne strain. Then CEDA decided that the virus was more like a flu, due
to the similarity to influenza and how it was an airborne sickness (which is why they started the use
of facial masks); however, further research revealed that the Infection was much more similar to
rabies, especially in the aggressive, rabid demeanor of the Infected; therefore, people would comment
on or rule out that it was no ordinary flu (as seen in graffiti on walls). CEDA was wrong and could not
find any definite answers based on the research of the Common Infected based on the time they had
thus far.
Tank:
Edit
It appears that CEDA captured a live Tank and did a number of surgeries on it; whether or not they
discovered anything of importance or did any other sort of research on this Tank is unknown. This
Tank was kept alive and put into a biohazard train car and was escorted by the military while passing
through the town of Rayford, Georgia; however, the train derailed perhaps due to a quick-striking wave
of Infected or an obstruction on the train tracks.
Also, during The Port, the players must fight several Tanks, one of whom is different from the others
because it has shackles around its wrists and a small eagle, globe and anchor tattoo on its chest.
The shackles suggest that this is another captured Tank specimen that managed to escape, and the
eagle, globe and anchor tattoo strongly indicates that it might have been a member of the U.S.
Marine Corps before turning. Whether this was just a coincidence or if it implies that the military were
experimenting on their own is unknown.
Edit
Due to failure in containing the Infection and the virus becoming more of a public and national health
hazard, CEDA was suspended and the U.S. military took over all CEDA operations. This presumably
happened somewhere between the events of Dark Carnival (assumed day 22) and the events of The
Parish (assumed day 24). Checkpoints and evacuation centers were taken over by the military who
had authorization to use deadly force. Civilians were relieved when the military took over; however, the
military used much more "aggressive" means of containing the Infection by fencing everyone up,
separating groups, and finally shooting Infected civillians or potential carriers of the Infection. Also,
CEDA-issued instructions on building a safe house stated that in accordance with CEDA
Management Policies, no firearms or guns were permitted in safe rooms. However, when the military
took over, they encouraged civillians to arm themselves. If you look closely at most of the military
posters, they are from the USMC (United States Marine Corps), though some are only labeled "U.S.
Military."
Edit
Throughout the Left 4 Dead series, CEDA has manufactured various posters with safety tips and
[unsuccessful] methods of preventing infection as well as other forms of advertisments which
indicated evacuation locations.

CEDA appears to be based on the real-life FEMA, which has particular resonance in New
Orleans, especially in its advice to cover windows with plastic sheeting and duct tape. The
name may also be a play on the CDC, an organization involved in preventing infectious
disease. The CEDA name and logo also resemble Civil Defense the Cold War-era
origination that preceded FEMA.
CEDA has their own duct tape as seen in many triage tents in Savannah. The tape is a
bright yellow color and bears the CEDA logo and name repeatatively.
In Dead Center, the helicopter that is leaving the roof is similar to the one that evacuates
the Survivors after the Bridge Finale in The Parish. This would suggest that CEDA was
meant to organize civilians and rally them to certain evacuation points, where they would
be taken by the military to strongpoints or viable evacuation sites. It may also suggest
that CEDA didn't have the amount of equipment needed to evacuate a large amount of
civilians, and needed military vehicles and helicopters before being superseded.
Th
e remaining population is likely dissatisfied with CEDA's response to the epidemic. Graffiti
through the campaigns say things such as "CEDA BLOWS" or "CEDA sucks."
In Rochelle 's official photo, several human CEDA workers are seen in hazmat suit in the
background inspecting the area and taking samples.
Valve store has released new CEDA work shirts. One is a industrial work shirt and the
other is a formal polo shirt They have also released a CEDA coffee mug , which bears the
Agency's motto and are based on the ones found in-game.
Large Decontamination Trailers can be seen parked around The Streets, and one in The

Parish. Ironically, text on the side of these trailers labels them as the "Disease
Emergency Assessment Dispatch," or D.E.A.D.
Throughout, when examining the makeshift medical tents and posts, all of the fluid
pouches alongside the beds are branded Cure Blood but have the word CONTAMINATED
stamped over it. In addition, all of the pouches that were stamped have the words facing
the opposite direction of the beds. It is possible that CEDA were either testing Infected
blood on patients without their consent (or awareness) or labeling them as contaminated
to avoid the pouches from being reused.
In Team Fortress 2, one of the random bot names is "CEDA".
When killing an infected CEDA scientist with a firearm the player can hear the suit unpressurize as if being punctured for the first time. This has brought up controversy as to
how they could have been infected even when wearing suits to protect them from
seemingly all methods of infection. Thoughts of how it could be a developer oversight is
met with the argument that they had to personally add the sound file themselves when
creating the game entity and that it couldn't simply be a "mistake".
