While Управление can be translated either "HQ" or "Directorate" главное управление should be an administrative organization. If it were division, it would be "дивизия"; if unit, "часть".

If a управление has a начальник, it's administrative and should be translated "directorate"; if it has a штаб, it's a headquarters.

In Soviet times Civil Defense (there was no МЧС until 1990, and then in the RSFSR) was headed for practical purposes by a штаб, headed by a military officer while the nominal chief was the head of the исполком or Совет Министров (depending on the echelon of the organization)

agree  Alexandra Schneeuhr: Yes, but 'Directorate' might be too grand in the context. In offcial docs it's called 'Department of Civil Defense, Emergencies and Fire Safety of Murmansk region'

  -> But that leaves no distinct translation for отдел, whose usual translation is "department"
