        Roughly translated, the three Hawaiian words at the top mean excellence/caring/fearless

        I was not aware the CD logo was still in use. I remember it in the late 60s / early 70s during TV Emergency Tests.

        How many states still call it Civil Defense? Here in Kansas we call it the Emergency Management.

        Of course. Everybody knows the Hawaii emergency authority is housed in a pyramid atop a volcano. The pyramid building is clad in thick asbestos and has a huge emergency parachute (not depicted in logo), in case of an explosive eruption.
