Yes of course, good point.

Yes I like that.

Thanks Greg for the analysis. I don't see OSM capable of representing the planning and management 
structure or command chain in those institutions. I see the need however, to tag physical 
infrastructure, such as garages for special equipment, storage for supplies, and places where 
responder teams exercise.

So this is what I assume emergency=disaster_response is good for, any planning and managing 
locations should go to the office=* namespace.
