[talk-au] Emergency Markers

[Evan Sebire]

There are a few around here that don't have vehicle access (helicopter / foot 
only).  It's just unfortunate that it was directly translated from German and 
a native English speaker did not come up with the tag.  I did a search but 
didn't come up with anything, that why I posed the question to the list.
