there seems to be little information related to the emergency relief
effort. In over 366,000 records there are only 19 marked as aeroway =
helipad.
I already brought this up on the tagging mailinglist. The problem is
that someone had the great idea to tag those as leisure=common, which is
honestly one of the worst defined and most abigious OSM Tags in geneal
(in my opinion this is a UK only tag due to legal implications), just
check out the Wiki.
And what makes it really bad is that you can correctly tag places as
leisure=common where no helicopter can land.

Now aeroway=helipad probablay wasn't used, because it's really meant for
places designed and designated for a helicopter to land not just where
it could land. Even though the decription isn't that clear, I think it
was the correct move not to use it.
The question is why not have a new tag?
And then it actually turned out that in Poland they are already using a
Tag that could have been used by HOT:
