I used this kind of tagging, because when someone works from older
imagery, they might re-add such an already deleted camp. If you just
modify the tags so that a node or way or area is still visible in the
editor, this might prevent duplicated work. I made sure to modify all
relevant tags (i.e. *both* earthquake:damage and refugee) since I
cannot know which tags are used by analysis tools or renderers etc.

Tagging is free-form anyway, so pick self-documenting tags that are
not in the positive list and we should be fine.
