[Tagging] emergency=yes

[Jaakko Helleranta.com]

Used in conjunction with amenity=hospital emergency=yes also implies that a
hospital has an Emergency Room.

For tag-related questions Taginfo and OSM Wiki are good resources:

* http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/emergency=yes#combinations

Cheers,
