The flag is orange with its emblem in the middle of the

2022
and 2023.

The emblem on the flag reads «Proteção
Civil e Bombeiros» (= Civil defense and firefighting), and that’s the
full name used in the reported
2023 inauguration of its new leader: Serviço Nacional de Proteção
Civil e Bombeiros (= national civil defense service and firefighting).
However it seems this is a recent addition, as the service’s a web presence,
through their
Facebook
account, still uses only Serviço Nacional de Proteção Civil;
the corresponding domain name, "snpc.cv", used previously,
has recently expired…

At the
official
web site, the emblem of the Civil Defense of Cape Verde includes a blue
triangle on orange, as prescribed by the Geneva
Convention (it’s almost identical to the
Portuguese one, as of 2001). I
could
not find any mention to a flag, though, nor shown nor described.
