    Natural Hazards

    Physical Threats
  • An outlined square contains an abstract icon and the silhouette of a person running from left to right. In the left top side of the square, there is an arrow pointing to the right. The association of these images connote an evacuation route and illustrates the Evacuation Procedures category of the emergency guidelines.
    Evacuation Procedures
  • An outlined square contains an abstract icon of a tick cross that is usually related to the Red Cross, a humanitarian organization that provides emergency assistance, and disaster relief around the world. The symbol is often related to emergencies and medicine. In this context, it illustrates the Medical Emergencies category of the emergency guidelines.
    Medical Emergency/Illness or Injury
  • An outlined square contains a rhombus shape divided into 4. Each segment has different hues of the color red. The icon mimics the international symbol and diagram of the Hazardous Materials Classification. In this context, it illustrates the Hazardous Material Emergencies category of the emergency guidelines.
