This can lead to confusion and error in the interpretation of maps provided to assist emergency managers and first responders during an ongoing disaster, either natural or human-made. This was highlighted during the September Eleventh event in New York City, where first responders had to develop their own symbology during the response stage. This process took valuable time away from other urgent matters. Concerns about interpretation errors and the need for clarification of map symbology led the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) to establish the Homeland Security Working Group on Symbology to specifically address these shortcomings. This paper describes the process involved in researching, defining, evaluating and redrawing emergency and hazard mapping symbology. It also explains the purposes of the Emergency and Hazard Mapping Symbology standard and the process that led to the submission of a final report to the American National Standard Institute (ANSI).
