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 becomes debatable. You do not want people going to the wrong evacuation center for the wrong emergency. That would be disastrous. I think the tagging is great, but maybe should only be rendered on maps specific to disaster relief efforts. As it is, it is unlikely to be rendered on the new OSM Carto, so including the information will do no harm, but could make it available to organizations who need it. Manin, I think your points * type of disaster * structural integrity * number of evacuees it can accommodate * length of time of the evacuees to stay depending on the resources available are crucial to responders and would be incredibly useful for responders in a disaster in the future. Pierre, could this be proposed and rendered under the HOT Carto scheme?
