[Tagging] Emergency shelters

t seems that the Emergency shelter situation for Hurricane Irma is very
dynamic with over 200 new shelters being opened in just one day.

Apparently the Red Cross have released an app (using Google  Maps) that
tracks the emergency shelters and also indicates which ones can't accept
new evacuees because they are full.

Therefore I think we do need a tag for "status" which would have values of
"closed" "open" and "full".

PS , I haven't seem the Red Cross app but the reviews are not good, with
one review describing it as "half baked", which, if true, would make it, in
my opinion, worse than useless.
