<div dir="ltr">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<div>
<br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>
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.</div>

Dear Mark,<br>
<div class=""><br>

<br>
</div>Good point. As what we always discuss to our DRR partners, not all<br>
evacuation centers are the same.<br>
For DRR managers, they need to be aware of the "quality and capacity<br>
of evacuation centers" categorized according to:<br>
* type of disaster<br>
* structural integrity<br>
* number of evacuees it can accommodate<br>
* length of time of the evacuees to stay depending on the resources available<br>
<br>
But for now, I am not sure if this should be included in OSM.<br>
<div class=""><br>
> Lastly, would it be appropriate to include contact details for the different services?? Hard to maintain unless the relief agencies do it them selves ..<br>
<br>
</div>Unless it is an official contact number like Davao's 911 or Pasig's<br>
DRR Command Center, I don't think it should be in OSM.<br>
This is more appropriate for the LGU's DRRM Office to maintain as an<br>
internal db.<br>
