Refreshed proposal - Emergency=disaster response

I would like to give you an update about the current state of emergency=disaster_response:

  • There was minimal use of emergency=disaster_response before the proposal got approved. These should be checked for correctnes. You can find them here:
    MapRoulette
  • emergency=disaster_response is added to all Ortsverbände (=local stations) of the German THW.
  • I started a discussion in the German forum about how to tag some facilitys of the German THW in general.
    You can find the discussion here:
    Richtige Erfassung von Liegenschaften des Technischen Hilfswerks
  • I started a discussion in the Italian forum about retagging the ca. 200x uses of emergency=ses_station in Italy.
    You can find the discussion here:
    Retagging dell'italiano "Protezione Civile" con emergency=disaster_response
  • emergency=disaster_response is already used 87x in Australia.
  • I started a discussion in the Oceanian forum about retagging the ca. 250x uses of emergency=ses_station in Australia.
    You can find the discussion here:
    Retagging the Australian SES'es with emergency=disaster_response
  • I created a MapRoulette project that aims at cleaning up the tagging of emergency facilitys.

  • I am currently working on a custom JOSM-preset to help with the creation/modification of facilitys of disaster-responding-organisations.

This update is not meant to interrupt the discussion that is sleeping for a week now. I am still interested to hear some opinions about listing explicit examples of organisations in the wiki, as it is currently the case in the french wiki page. As already sayed, I oppose this because such a list can never be complete and not finding an organisation on such a list could lead to the beliving that the facility does not match the tag. The definition at the top of the page is the deciding reference. But that is just my oppinion.
