We are in the process of setting up humanitarian tags based on the the 
UN Spatial Data Infrastructure.  These are available as a presets file 
(xml) in JOSM.  That file is attached.  So, if you are taking on this 
task, please use the Health facilities presets.  

These presets are based on years of discussions with Subject Matter 
Experts and are well-known in the UN and other humanitarian communities 
(though we have streamlined them for this operation).  Soon these 
presets will be posted as a live xml document that you can link your 
JOSM to, however, for the moment, I am attaching them here.

AN URGENT NEED in addtion to the hospitals is to clean up the road type 
tags to correspond with the humanitarian presets. Right now the tags in 
the OSM road data are messy and make it difficult for people in the 
field to symbolize.

    We urgently need volunteers to do some creative research to find the
    coordinates - latitude and longitude in degree decimals - for about
    100 hospitals in Haiti.

    Instructions and background on the project are available at
    http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php/haiti:geolocatehospitalchallenge

    The spreadsheet with hospitals that we need coordinates on is here:

    <http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aoyf-OlHreuhdDBkSWJ2d1FtMkpkTzZrV1B4dDlKREE&hl=en>




    Instructions and suggestions are also embedded within the
    spreadsheet on tabs.

    Please put the word out.  We hope to have this all completed by the
    end of Friday, 22 January.

    Thanks and best regards,
    Mark
