International Civil Defence Day

Postby Arthur Radburn » 01 Mar 2018, 11:18

Among other things, today, 1 March, is International Civil Defence Day. So, some heraldry on this theme :

Image
Moldova : Civil Protection and Special Situations Service.

Image
Norway : Civil Defence.

Image
Russia : Ministry of Emergency Situations ('Emercom').

There don't seem to be many civil defence-related coats of arms around. Does anyone know of any others?
Regards

Searched and found the old cap badge of the IDF civil defense units (in use until about '92), which included a shield, though technically a badge. Similar to the Norwegian example.

The current shoulder patches of the home front command have the orange background with blue triangle combo in somewhat pseudo-heraldic (or hard to blazon) fashion e.g. The training base
