There are so many emergency issues in our daily life. Such as typhoons, tsunamis, earthquake, fires, floods, epidemics,
etc. These emergencies made people lose their lives and their belongings. Every day, every hour, even every minute
people probably face the emergency, so how to handle it and how to decrease its hurt are the matters people care most. If
we can map it exactly before or after the emergencies; it will be helpful to the emergency researchers and people who
live in the emergency place. So , through the emergency map, before emergency is occurring we can predict the situation,
such as when and where the emergency will be happen; where people can refuge, etc. After disaster, we can also easily
assess the lost, discuss the cause and make the lost less. The primary effect of mapping is offering information to the
people who care about the emergency and the researcher who want to study it. Mapping allows the viewers to get a
spatial sense of hazard. It can also provide the clues to study the relationship of the phenomenon in emergency. Color, as
the basic element of the map, it can simplify and clarify the phenomenon. Color can also affects the general
perceptibility of the map, and elicits subjective reactions to the map. It is to say, structure, readability, and the reader's
psychological reactions can be affected by the use of color.
