Hi Folks,

This just popped into the HOT mailing list - very topical at the moment and may 
be worth taking to the SSSI event organisers

Cheers - Phil

Subject: Re: [HOT] damage as a tag - not docu,

Just a quick note; HOT does not formally do damage tagging, mainly because no 
tagging schema exists. In the past, members of HOT tried various tagging but 
results for remote damage assessment were poor.

I personally would be glad to see a community driven tagging schema developed 
but if not we (HOT) will need to document what we come up with for usage in 
disaster response and recovery.

One glaring issue has been that typically the tags persist much longer than the 
damage.
