We are in the process of setting up humanitarian tags based on the the
UN Spatial Data Infrastructure. These are available as a presets file
(xml) in JOSM. That file is attached. So, if you are taking on this
task, please use the Health facilities presets.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>These presets are based on years of discussions with Subject
Matter Experts and are well-known in the UN and other humanitarian
communities (though we have streamlined them for this operation). Soon
these presets will be posted as a live xml document that you can link
your JOSM to, however, for the moment, I am attaching them here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>AN URGENT NEED in addtion to the hospitals is to clean up the road
type tags to correspond with the humanitarian presets. Right now the
tags in the OSM road data are messy and make it difficult for people in
the field to symbolize.</div>
