What is ISO 22578 - Natural disaster safety way guidance system about?

ISO 22578 is an international standard that covers the natural disaster safety way guidance system, enabling effective communication in disaster instances. ISO 22578 specifies the principles governing the design and application of signs and plans used to create a natural disaster safety way guidance system to help people evacuate to safe areas or places of refuge in case of natural disasters (e.g. tsunamis, floods, debris flows, steep slope failures, landslides, tornados, large-scale fires, active volcanoes). ISO 22578 provides guidance on the selection and use of safety signs conforming to ISO 7010 , public information symbols conforming to ISO 7001 , and text on evacuation route signs, places of refuge signs and evacuation plan signs for information related to one or more particular natural disasters.
