[Tagging] Emergency shelters

[Blake Girardot]

Authorities routinely post the hurricane evacuation centers for a year
as they do change a little bit year to year.

but the core typically remains the same, schools etc.

These just need a good lifecycle tag.

Like "good until' date, after which it can be easily found and removed.

I proposed some lifecycle tags for damage tagging and helicopter
landing zones (different than helipads) that would apply here

I will try and find them, but they were based on a known good until
date, after which they should be updated and a new known good until
date added, or should be removed or not relied upon.
