For those who haven’t read/voted yet:
I’ve proposed a tagging system to map Waiting Areas, Shelter Areas, Rescue Staging Areas found in all Italian municipalities (those with official signage).
The proposal is now in VOTING phase: osm.wiki/Proposal:Civil_Protection_Areas#Voting
The OSM Proposals Wiki is:
The place to learn how to use tags
The place where the community proposes, discusses and approves new tags
How to vote (step by step):
If you don’t have an OSM account → osm.wiki/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=Main+Page → Register
Click the proposal link above
Scroll to the “Voting” section → click “edit” (modify)
Votes are open from today until March 23.
Thanks to everyone who participates! Andrea
