Hi Clifford,
A google search for something like "list of us evacuation centers" seems to indicate most of them are on a state by state basis.
Typically schools, and older "fallout shelters" are designated evacuation centers in my experience.
I don't know the official policy on UK v. US spelling, I assume a US person set up the Philippines mapping conventions based on the spelling conventions.
Whenever I am extracting data, I always use both spellings for things where I know there are two because there are usually both spellings used no matter what.

I am looking for the right tag to use but am just so shocked we don't use that tag in the US, is there another one I should be looking at? Blake, I'm on the west coast. We have evacuation routes for tsunamis but I've never seen any evacuation centers. The tag appears to be from the Phillipines [1] where most of the nodes are clustered. Slightly of topic, shouldn't the correct tag be evacuation_centre? There is a small number of evacuation_centre in taginfo.
