That was the plan!

emergency=control_centre for the place where disaster / emergency responses are controlled / co-ordinated from e.g. https://kedrontoday.com.au/sdcc-at-kedron-to-get-funding-boost-from-2022-23-fire-and-emergency-services-budget/ or https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/63985402 / https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coastguard_radar_station,_Dover_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1417531.jpg

emergency=administration is the downtown office block where public servants sit & make decisions that affect the people who do the actual work, so that would also have the office=government + government=emergency tags included on it.

Which separates them both from the actual rescue / emergency stations which house equipment & the people that use it.


As marc_marc says .. emergency is a main key so it should not be used for a secondary key too.


Possibly I'm over thinking it.

Why not use an existing tag instead?

description=administration/999 call centre/control centre/*

It is unlikely that the third key would ever get rendered anyway.. particularly if it is only used for government emergency offices only.


------------------------------------------------------------------------

So where I'm at

Example:


office=government

government=emergency

description=administration/999 call centre/control centre/*


Would that not do ‘the job’ ??


Still leaves the documentation to be done ..


Existing:

office=government

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:office%3Dgovernment

“The tag office <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:office>= is used to tag government offices of a (supra)national, regional or local government agency or department. In these offices, staff work directly for the government and carry out tasks to administer facilities, operate registries and licensing bureaus, regulate lands and/or people, etc.

Examples include the ministry of foreign affairs, the tax office, or the local roadworks authority. “


government=emergency

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag%3Agovernment%3Demergency


No real text, so suggested text???


“An office of the government that deals with planning, administration or other organizational details for an emergency or an emergency department. The office itself does not provide a physical response to an emergency.


Examples


A call centre for an emergency phone number such as 911/999/000/112.

The administration of a civil defence department.

A control centre for a wild fire response.

A control centre for an EPIRB/PLB response.


How to map


Create an area or node and tag it office=government and government=emergency.


Tags used in combination


Recommended: description=administration/999 call centre/fire control centre/*

name=* - the name of the feature if it has one

operator=* - establishes the department that provides the feature


If the office exists in combination with other features then map the other features as appropriate. e.g a fire station could be mapped as a node with the office also mapped as a separate node. This follows the OSM guide of ‘one feature, one OSM entry’.
