Laura, Blue and red-roofed buildings are not necessarily aid tents. Many buildings have blue roofs, and some red as well, from my experience. So I think there's no need to tag buildings based on roof color.
Are you tracing buildings from post-quake imagery, where you would expect to see aid tents? I think the post-quake imagery is only being used for "experienced mappers only" tasks. The Bing and MapBox imagery was from before the earthquake.
