Good point. As what we always discuss to our DRR partners, not all evacuation centers are the same. 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 of evacuees it can accommodate * length of time of the evacuees to stay depending on the resources available But for now, I am not sure if this should be included in OSM. > Lastly, would it be appropriate to include contact details for the different > services?? Hard to maintain unless the relief agencies do it them selves .. Unless it is an official contact number like Davao's 911 or Pasig's DRR Command Center, I don't think it should be in OSM. This is more appropriate for the LGU's DRRM Office to maintain as an internal db. -- cheers, maning ------------------------------------------------------ "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
