A blue equilateral triangle within an orange circle is the international symbol for emergency preparedness. The equilateral triangle represents harmony and balance; the colour orange is a sign of alert or danger and blue signifies calm. The Region of Durham logo within this symbol indicates our commitment to the residents of Durham Region in the event of a disaster.
