Dear everyone,
Just a brief update on the status of mapping with LGUs in Pampanga.
If you have been monitoring the edits recently, you will notice that
the Municipality of Guagua is getting a lot of edits recently
specifically on adding building.
The DRRM Office have several volunteer students
Hi Maning, I guess the determining factor is who will be using the data. If
it is responders in an emergency, all they really need is the location they
can plug into a gps and maybe a people capacity so they know what they are
dealing with
If it is end users (public), the more detailed aspect

Effectively, we dont tag for the renderer and have to thinkabout the audiences
(public and humanitarian organizations) and which tool / layer to give rapid
access to this information in crisis context. Wireless solutions could be
interesting. Then, is it possible to integrate this in
HI all,
Just to reiterate Chad's points, finding a way to tag evacuation shelters
would be a huge step for humanitarian uses of GIS. The Red Cross would
definitely use that data and in fact already has plans to contribute such
data on the drawing board.
A few thoughts on the specific tagging
Dear Manning, Mark, and Pierre,
Determining a systematic way to capture emergency shelters is a much needed
within OSM. One common challenge is that is many parts of the world
emergency shelters serve other purposes such as places of worship or
community centers, so they might already be tagged

for the meantime we added the tag: evacuation_center=yes.
Surely this should be evacuation_centre=yes? ;)

Dear All,
For me it is an interesting topic that we had to manage in DRR
But the crucial question will be
Who maintain the database, if we put in OSM, it means that every 6
months or year somebody is going to do a survey and update
Our a team (call center), contributor are in charge to update
Very interesting discussions, which I think will be very helpful for
many DRR managers. One thing I would like to clarify:
For DRR managers, they need to be aware of the quality and capacity
of evacuation centers categorized according to:
* type of disaster
* structural integrity
* number
