Around me, there are almost no places that would be described like this
as their primary use.

Instead, there are schools, community centers, churches, etc. that are
doing something normally, but there's a plan that if there is an
emergency then the authorities might open it as a shelter.

So:

  it's an extra use, not a primary key

  it's an ability, not open/closed, and open/close is too dynamic to be
  on the map

so we really need

  this building is on the list to be a shelter if needed and might or
  might not be any minute


which I'd say "emergency=shelter" captures.
