-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Greetings from Maryland (USA),
Here in the USA we're getting prepared for our Hurricane Season[0]. I worked for ten years in the disaster preparedness world and did a lot to help people prepare for the inevitable. With that said, I'd like to make a recommended change to the 'evacuation_route' key[1] in hopes of making it more useful without, hopefully, making it too complicated for the cartographers out there. The current tagging system is likely not being rendered by any software out there and seems to be a one-off. To me this *should* be a type of route which would show direction and, perhaps, the type of emergency when this route would be active. This type of tagging shouldn't be specific to the USA and should be generic enough to be globally used. On the rendering side of things, I could see a switch being toggled that would gray out everything but emergency routes, emergency resources (shelters, food, water, etc), and other resources that could be turned on individually. One could even store evacuation points and meeting locations on these maps making it much easier for someone to navigate during an emergency. Currently there are less then 5,000 implementation globally. Thoughts?
