Emergencies have always been with man. Right from the unit of society—the individual, to families, cities, states and nations, emergencies are known almost on daily basis; hence the need to appreciate and foster logos meant for emergency situations.

As diverse situations around the globe continue to demand prompt emergency response, people must become conversant with signs, images and logos which have been crafted to aid prevention; and also, safety of people and properties during such occurrences.

Thanks to several emergency service organizations that have helped to lessen the effect of both artificial and natural adverse situations. However, there is more to be done. In fact, in spite of the ability of emergency agencies to predict such occurrences, incidences can defy predictions. Therefore there is need for utmost alertness at all times. And this must be especially on the part of government, Non-governmental agencies, the media, and the people too.

Clearly, it is important that there be proper enlightenment, especially with the aid of symbols and explicit write-ups. Furthermore, emergency organizations must make sure to craft proper logos by which they can be identified for what they stand for. By these and much more, the effects of contrary situations can be lowered.
