17、es the foundation for consistent communication through a readilyacceptable set of cartographic symbols relevant to homeland security objectives, in-cluding:- reducing loss of life and property by strengthening nationwide response readiness;- minimizing disruptions to governmental operations, critica
18、l cyber and physical infra-structures, and socioeconomic sectors;- improving communications;- strengthening national recovery plans and capabilities;- promoting E-Government modernization and interoperability initiatives;- strengthening nationwide preparedness and mitigation against acts of terroris
19、m,natural disasters, or other emergencies; and- providing scalable and robust all-hazard response capability and recovery assis-tance.Federal, state, and local agencies worked together under the auspices of the FederalGeographic Data Committees (FGDC) Homeland Security Working Group, to devel-op the
20、 proposed symbology. Symbols and their definitions have been developed forIncidents, Natural Events, Operations, and Infrastructures to provide immediate andgeneral understanding of the situation. Development of the symbols involved the re-search, compilation, analysis, consolidation, adaptation, an
21、d creation of symbols.While these symbols do not include all emergency management features, they pro-vide an initial framework for emergency management and first responder mappingand communication. Detailed attribution for any feature can be included by the user.Both a category structure and a damag
22、e-operational status hierarchy were devel-oped using color and frame shapes with line patterns. The symbology was designedfor use in digital and paper map formats.This standard contains three annexes. Annexes A and B are normative and are con-sidered part of the standard. Annex C is informative and
23、is not considered part of thestandard.Requests for interpretation, suggestions for improvement or addenda, or defect re-ports are welcome. They should be sent to InterNational Committee for InformationTechnology Standards (INCITS), ITI, 1250 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington,DC 20005.This standa

Additional details can be stored as attributes and displayed in a way appropriate to the specific map or application in question. For example, “football stadium“ could be carried as an attribute of the
32、“Open Facility“ feature within Infrastructure/Public Venue. The attribute could then be used as a label, metatag, or within the legend. Currently, the scope of this standard is limited to point symbols. However, the standard is expected to expand at a later date to include lines and polygons. 5.1.2
33、Frame Shapes. To further distinguish between the four categories, frame shapes are used to visually classify the symbols into groups: diamonds (Incidents and Natural Events), circles (Operations), and rectangles (Infrastructure). 5.1.3 Color vs. Black combined definitions of “criminal” and “activity
