There was a discussion here on "Disaster response" in April.
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2017-April/032127.html
Another discussion back in December 2015 "If a school is a shelter when a
disaster happens..."
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2015-December/027929.html

amenity=shelter is well established for (mainly) recreational uses, which
is very different from emergency shelters.

There are a few different practices/facilities meant by the word "shelter",
perhaps using different terms would help to make a distinction.

Thank you for bring up the discussion,
