Don't 'like' the 'transportation' as there is no transportation function
at these offices.
office=government
government=emergency
There is already an emergency key .. overloaded with values

I suppose a few more would not be out of the question?
emergency=control_centre/administration ???
I have thought about documenting a proposal for that but haven't got to it
Too many things on the ' to do' list. Me too.

In the US we have the concept of "Emergency Management Agency"
which is
at least partly not something like firefighters/ambulance/police.
These
exist at federal, state, county and local levels. They more or
less does
three things:
planning and training for future emergencies. Creation of "Local
Emergency Plan" documents. Coordinating that lots of people have
taken a dizzying array of classes. Perhaps hosting classes.
operating an Emergency Operations Center where command staff decide
what various resources are going to do during an emergency.
has some staff who function more or less like firefighters in that
they go to locations where emergency services are needed and do
urban
search and rescue, swift water rescue, damage assessment
The first one is definitely office=government government=emergency. I
think the second one is too.
A facility that houses equipment that personnel from the third
case use
as a response base feels like emergency=ses_station.
Sometimes there are facilities that do all three. There is a federal
facility in New England that is at least both 2&3 and surely they must
do 1.
Overall I think I'm agreeing with Warin here - some functions of
"Civil
Defense" (as it used to be called before that was politically
incorrect)
are office functions, and some are conceptually similar to fire/rescue
departments.
