What else would you use ;) ? Here's why OSM works so nicely in disaster response: 1) it's open source = you can actually get it as data which means you can print it or load it into a GPS device if needed and 2) it's actually editable, there's no other map that you can directly edit Wrote a piece about this on my diary recently: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/lxbarth/diary/21623 (also check out Mikel's post linked from the comments).
