[OSM-talk] If a school is a shelter when a disaster happens...

[maning sambale]

In the Ph, by default, schools are used as evacuation centers (which is bad
since it disrupts school days during prolonged crisis but thats a separate
discussion). For these, we tag them as amenity=school and
evacuation_center=yes.

cheers,
