Warning Colour Codes

The exhibit introduces various weather disaster situations and provides visitors with four-color warnings through the linkage of touch screen display and large screen playback.

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

The sudden meteorological disaster warning signal consists of warning colors, graphics, and Chinese and English characters. The signal is mainly aimed at 11 kinds of disastrous weather, such as typhoon, rainstorm, high temperature, cold wave, fog, thunderstorm, strong wind, sandstorm, hail, snow disaster, road icing, etc. In addition, similar to the US Homeland Security Alert, disaster weather warning signals also use different colors to indicate the severity and urgency of disasters, namely blue, yellow, orange, and red, representing moderate, severe, severe, and particularly severe, respectively. Before the arrival of disaster weather, the meteorological department will issue warning signals to the public as soon as possible through television and other means.
