This Civil Defense Force and Regional Defense Units were replaced a decade ago by the Home-front Command. The colours of the home-front command are the same to those appearing in its emblem – blue and orange. Apparently, this emblem is based on the proposed flag in the 1949 Geneva convention for civil defence.

Homefront Command (Pikud HaOref) was established in 1992 following the Gulf War and replaced the Civil Defense Force and Regional Defense Units. The command is charged on civil defense, search and rescue etc.  
The command adopted the orange color as it is known internationally as the civil defense color.

The Emblem

Previous emblem; current emblem, source: Wikipedia

Notice that both, on the current emblem (which is really a silhouette of the older version, in black and white, he.wikipedia.org) and the old (he.wikipedia.org/...IDF_Home_Front_Command_Colored_Tag.svg) emblem as well, it features the blue triangle, derived from Geneva Convention Protocol Flags. That is, in Israel, the organization that represents and carries out Civil Defence organization duties is the Home Front Command.

פיקוד העורף (English: HFC, official abbreviation for Home Front Command) was established on February 17, 1992 (http://www.oref.org.il/1045-he/PAKAR.aspx and https://he.wikipedia.org). It is also known as simply "Oref" (derived from its transliteration "Pikud HaOref") and also "Pakar" (derived from the pronunciation in Hebrew of the initials "פיקוד העורף").
