摘要：Many hazards happen in our daily life. They cause damages of property, loss of human life and environment problems. The emergency management plays a very important role when we face to these events. Spatial information plays a very important role in these emergency responses. Map is the most direct representation of spatial information. Symbology is the most intuitional and visual language in the map. In our paper forest fire emergency map is choosing as an example. Forest fire is one kind of emergency natural disasters which happened almost every day on the earth. Rapid response can avoid damages when detecting a forest fire. In order to show the forest fire information rapidly and easily understanding on the map. We try to design a suit of mapping symbols for the forest fire. According to forest fire special content, we can use four kinds of emergency map symbols: the basic geographical map symbols, the emergency events symbols, the emergency facilities related information symbols and the emergency command map symbols. At last we get a forest fire emergency map symbols. At last, four kinds of maps can be made to test these symbols, such as the forest fire risk evaluating map, the forest spreading map, the forest fire rapid response command map and the forest fire lost estimation map. The emergency symbols work very well in the forest fire rapid response. A lot of symbols are well-designed. But some of them need to re-design. In future we will provide a whole symbol library which can be used in the GIS software for emergency mapping
