It does say: " The various emergency
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:emergency>=xxx
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:emergency%3Dxxx&action=edit&redlink=1>
tags are intended to tag the base areas or buildings of various Emergency
Rescue groups as clearly observed. This tag is only intended to be used for
permanent features, not temporary locations eg in the field"

So pretty well all of the above, depending, of course, on what is at any
particular location. eg for this area, it would include the full fenced
area, with several buildings, carpark etc
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=19/-27.43264/153.00940, whereas
smaller units (usually in country areas) would be a shed only.

How does it relate to

They would both be replaced by =disaster_response, which would be defined
as " each countries Emergency Rescue / Civil Defence service/" eg
Australian State Emergency Service (SES), US FEMA (Federal Emergency
Management Agency) etc
