We can distinguish the calling centre and the centre for coordination for emergency forces and resources. Usually they are located in the same place. Of course a ordinary person don't need to know where they are, but for a emergency planner these are strategic places into the emergencies services that need to be preserved and defended. Of course the emergency services should have their own maps and data bases, but I think that is our goal to offer the best possible geographic information data base for all kind of user and to serve as a valid alternative to any government user which want to use it. In addition the terrorist, many other people could need to know the location of such a place, for example mail and delivery services, taxis, and any one who is interested in work in such a place or know how the work (school visits). At least in my country these location are publicly know through the contact section of their web site. They are also verifiable on the on the ground features and as such they have place in our database.

It could be used office=any as main key but emergency = something should be available to facilitate searchs and grouping. Regards, Javier
