The Icelandic Met Office has decided to communicate more actively with the public, specifically when it comes to alarms in regards to natural hazards. This is reported by ruv.is. The warning-graphics will be colour-coded and whilst the colours inform the public of the level of danger, the graphic will depict what sort of natural hazard is being addressed.
The icons can picture rain, volcanic eruption, or an earthquake. The system is based on a foreign example and is specifically aimed to target the younger generation and tourists.
