You 
  can find a link to the Canadian symbology document at http://capan.ca/index.php/en/geopresent/, 
  as well as a link to the CAPAN CAP Event Location Layer and CAP 
  “experimental” symbology service (see www.capan.ca/geopresent/icon). 
  The event list is at www.capan.ca/CAP-CP. Combine them, and 
  we’ve been able to move Canadian stakeholders to use common terms and 
  symbology with CAP alerts.

  
 

  
Cheers,

GeoConnections Releases Canada's Emergency Mapping 
  Symbology (EMS) version 1.0
Over 200 emergency mapping symbols 
  are now available for use in geospatial products that will help provide common 
  understanding of emergency situations and improve information-sharing. The 
  two-tiered symbology was designed to cover a wide range of emergency incident, 
  infrastructure and operations subjects. The symbols are tailored to Canadian 
  requirements for situational awareness, first response, natural hazards, 
  public alerting and critical infrastructure. The Emergency Mapping Symbology 
  is free to use, share, modify and extend without 
  restriction.
