Right now there are unfortunately numerous fires that have threatened or burned up cities here in Oregon. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/oregon-fire-evacuation-map-update-as-83-000-medford-residents-forced-to-flee-homes/ar-BB18RvEu?ocid=uxbndlbing With many businesses and homes that have buildings burned down, closed, or both, I wonder what is the best way we can best notify everyone relying on Openstreetmap/Osmand. Is there a way one can mark temporarily closed for an entire area? And is there a tag that can be added as burned down vs permanently deleting a node or building area? :( asked 11 Sep '20, 04:31 123maps |
Destroyed buildings: Use a lifecycle prefix on the Amenities (,shops, etc) co-tagged directly on the building way: Delete the amenity-specific tags, optionally add a lifecycle prefix on the main tag (eg Amenities etc mapped as a node inside a destroyed building: Delete node or use lifecycle prefix on the main tag. (Possible edge case: Some amenities, churches for example, may continue to function in ad-hoc accommodations on the previous site.) ~~~ As far as I know, there's no standard way to mark a temporary closure for an entire area, but you can close the roads in that area... Closed road you expect to reopen within a few weeks: Don't change road access, possibly add a note or fixme explaining the temporary closure and asking for a resurvey to confirm the re-opening. Closed road you expect to reopen after several weeks: Add a conditional access tag like Indefinitely closed road: Tag answered 11 Sep '20, 20:55 jmapb |
Short term closures aren't normally mapped in OSM. Recently destroyed buildings etc. can be tagged with a lifecycle prefix like answered 11 Sep '20, 10:04 InsertUser |
