I'd like to get some feedback from the community on possible inclusion of "emergency shelter" in a "social facility" feature. I was discussing this with the author of that proposal, kerosin, as I'd like to fold the Homeless Shelter proposal into Social Facility.<div>
<br></div><div>After just a little research, the Humanitarian OSM tags came up and I want to make that whatever we propose is in line with those goals.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Sean<br><br>

<div><br></div><div>The use-case I'm thinking about for emergencies covers shelters for disasters as well as vaccination clinics or distribution of aid. Some of this is covered in the Humanitarian OSM tags:</div>

<div><br></div><div>An emergency shelter would be covered under Internally Displaced People (IDP) camp site, e.g.</div><div><span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:12px;border-collapse:collapse;line-height:19px"><br>
</span></div><div><span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:12px;border-collapse:collapse;line-height:19px">idp:camp_condition=building</span></div>
<div><br></div><div>A vaccination clinic, for something like smallpox would be:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:monospace;font-size:10px;border-collapse:collapse;line-height:19px;white-space:pre-wrap"><a href="http://w/index.php?title=Key:health_facility:type&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Key:health facility:type (page does not exist)" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(204, 34, 0);background-color:initial;background-repeat:initial initial" target="_blank">health_facility:type</a>=<a href="http://w/index.php?title=Tag:health_facility:type%3Ddispensary&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Tag:health facility:type=dispensary (page does not exist)" style="text-decoration:none;color:rgb(204, 34, 0);background-color:initial;background-repeat:initial initial" target="_blank">dispensary</a></span></div>
<div><br></div><div>I didn't see anything in there there for distribution of food or other aid like building supplies.</div><div><br></div><div>From your wiki proposal, I would change this:</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:19px">social_facility=emergency_shelter (a shelter for homeless people e.g. in case of a disaster)</span></div>
<div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px">to just</span></font></div>
<div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px"><span style="font-size:13px">social_facility=emergency</span></span></font></div>
<div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px"><br></span></font></div><div><font face="sans-serif"><span style="line-height:19px">We could then use the Humanitarian tags to describe the feature in more detail. Would this be the right way to approach this?</span></font></div>
