A question was recently raised to me as follows:
What are the three symbols on the Emergency Preparedness Merit Badge? What do they stand for? Any idea?
I know the Cross at the top represents the First Aid MB, which is required as a prerequisite for this badge.
The blue figure in the lower left looks like a house.
I have no firm idea about the symbols in the lower right.

Lighting Bolt

Look at the printing in the book and you'll see the dots and dashes.
I think the cross at top at the MB could be Safety MB since it's not Red.
