This document specifies guidelines for a use of social media in emergency management. It gives guidance on how to use social media before, during and after an emergency and how social media can support the work of emergency services. On the one hand, these guidelines are directed to authorities (governmental as well as non­governmental organisations) involved in emergency management. On the other hand, they are directed to citizens who want to use social media in emergency situations. These guidelines shall help social media users to use these new media as efficiently as possible.

This International Standard establishes the colour codes for expressing the degree of safety or danger. The colour codes should be used to gain the attention of both first response personnel and/or the people at risk about the severity of situation to solicit them to seek more information or to take appropriate safety actions specified by prior notification. Unlike safety signs which convey static information, colour codes should be used to let the people at risk know the recent changes in status in terms of safety­danger continuum . The colours between red and green in terms of hue will be used to express the status in terms of safety­danger continuum. The degree of safetydanger continuum should be less than nine because of human capacity to distinguish at one time. This standard is applicable to all locations and all sectors where safety­related questions may be posed. However, it is not applicable to, generally speaking, to those sectors subject to a regulation which may differ.
