If you have ever been in a large scale disaster or know of a person who has — such as after a hurricane or tornado — then you likely have seen markings on the front of a building.
These markings are codes for FEMA searchers and they are designed to help you and searchers learn more the buildings such as what's inside and whether it's okay to enter.
In a disaster zone, in particular, one that has led to a system-wide catastrophe, a person's main option may be to forage for supplies. If that's the case that means entering an abandoned building that's in disrepair.
While wise advice tells you to stay out of the building, if the situation is dire enough you may not have another choice.
Therefore understanding these symbols and what they stand for not only will help your search goes easier, but they may also help you stay out of trouble!
To find out what these symbols mean and what they're about head to the next page.

Do not,I repeat. Never enter a FEMA camp in times of distress. They may not let you leave. In fact, they most likely won’t. Explain that one.?

Yeah I remember doing these very well
These are SAR way before FEMA was ever heard of.
Meh.. they were useless when I survived hurricane Wilma and Katrina. One of there workers stabbed several people when I lived in Key West and I was asked to be silent and warned not to go to the media about it. I’d rather trust in my own survival than to go to people that will probably force me into a work camp in a tight humanitarian disaster
