I would like to propose a tag for emergency control
centers (the place <br>
you reach when you call 112 in Europe).<br>

<div>Why?</div>

</div>
<div>As far as I know, these are places one contacts via
telephone. They may be located far from</div>
<div>the locality they serve, even though calls from
that locality may be routed to one particular</div>
<div>control centre. Are the ones you are familiar with
of a kind where one must walk in to report</div>
<div>an emergency? Unless they are, it serves no
purpose to mark them on a map. Unless, perhaps,</div>
<div>one is a terrorist intent upon damaging
infrastructure.</div>

<div>I kindly disagree with you. I think this information is
important in the map as is everything related to emergencies.
We can distinguish the calling centre and the centre for
coordination for emergency forces and resources. Usually they
are located in the same place.</div>

Well .. that is not the case here. <br>
First the call centre takes calls for the 3 services - ambulance,
fire (and rescue) and police. The calls are then past to relevant
section as they are trained in the relevant specialities and have
the correct contacts. <br>

<div> Of course a ordinary person don't need to know where they
are, but for a emergency planner these are strategic places
into the emergencies services that need to be preserved and
defended. Of course the emergency services should have their
own maps and data bases, but I think that is our goal to offer
the best possible geographic information data base for all
kind of user and to serve as a valid alternative to any
government user which want to use it. In addition the
terrorist, many other people could need to know the location
of such a place, for example mail and delivery services,
taxis, and any one who is interested in work in such a place
or know how the work (school visits). At least in my country
these location are publicly know through the contact section
of their web site. They are also verifiable on the on the
ground features and as such they have place in our database.</div>

Anyone wanting the information can find it and use it .. even if it
is under the office key. <br>
<br>
Going to a fire or ambo station for assistance is fine. There you
find people trained in various aspects of emergency assistance and
the equipment to provide that assistance. It may be quicker to go
there than call and wait for them to arrive. <br>
Going to a call centre is not so good .. they probably don't have
the equipment even if they have the training and experience. So I
would not put them under the key emergency. <br>
<br>
Dedicated buildings for ambulances do exist, just as they do for
fire stations. <br>
