All Hazards Symbology
This project commenced to develop an Australasian All Hazards Symbology set. The project was sponsored by the Intergovernmental Committee on Surveying and Mapping (ICSM) and the Australia New Zealand Land Information Council (ANZLIC), and supported by EMSINA. The primary aim of the project was to develop a consistent All Hazards Symbology Set (AHSS) and have it adopted by emergency management agencies across Australia and New Zealand.
All Hazards Symbology Categories
The All Hazards Symbology is divided up into the following four categories:
Assets: Assets or infrastructure that are relevant to an incident or event or operational response; assets at risk, or infrastructure that needs protection
Incident: Relevant to incidents for any hazards including natural event, civil activities and policing
Observations: Any observation relevant to an incident, event or operational response.
Operations: Relevant to planned and operational responses to events and incidents including supporting intelligence.
Hazards: Relevant for warnings on public facing EM websites

All Hazards Symbology - Implementation Guide
EMSINA recognisies that the work above needs to be expanded to introduce a step by step guide on how to introduce the All Hazards Symbiology Set into your own software. If you would like to help EMSINA complete this project we would be keen to hear from you.
