Effectively, we dont tag for the renderer and have to thinkabout the audiences
(public and humanitarian organizations) and which tool / layer to give rapid
access to this information in crisis context. Wireless solutions could be
interesting. Then, is it possible to integrate this in existing OSM products
such as OSMAnd, OSMTracker, etc ?
Manning proposition about the various aspects provides significant information.
I think that this is a good basis to start thinking about this.
About the humanitarian Style, I am not sure that this is the place. There are
many POI's and trying to add an evacuation center over this would add
confusion. Also, I dont think that this would be the best option to locate
rapidly the evacuation centers.
If a Tsunami arize, we need this information to be available at this crucial
moment. Thematic maps could be useful for both the public and the humanitarian
organizations. But in case of emergencies, a wireless application that show you
the way to the nearest evacuation center would be the best I think.
It would be interesting to discuss all of this on the HOT IRC or a specific one
for Philippines. We had such discussions for the Mali Activation in 2013. OCHA
and the clusters participated to weekly discussions about various subjects like
this. This is a good way to progress and motivate OSM contributors and
humanitarian about working together.

Objet : Re: [talk-ph] Guagua mapping progress and tagging evacuation centers
Hi Maning, I guess the determining factor is who will be using the data. If it
is responders in an emergency, all they really need is the location they can
plug into a gps and maybe a people capacity so they know what they are dealing
with
If it is end users (public), the more detailed aspect becomes debatable. You do
not want people going to the wrong evacuation center for the wrong emergency.
That would be disastrous.
I think the tagging is great, but maybe should only be rendered on maps
specific to disaster relief efforts. As it is, it is unlikely to be rendered on
the new OSM Carto, so including the information will do no harm, but could make
it available to organizations who need it.
Manin, I think your points
* type of disaster
* structural integrity
* number of evacuees it can accommodate
* length of time of the evacuees to stay depending on the resources available
are crucial to responders and would be incredibly useful for responders in a
disaster in the future.
Pierre, could this be proposed and rendered under the HOT Carto scheme?
Cheers
Mark
