Some recent discussion on the OSM tagging mailing list brought something to my attention that has to be a part of the
Emergency Services Mapping project.
The additional component is indemnification. OSM and the cadre of Volunteer Mappers have no resources to defend a lawsuit. There will be a need to provide protection for them in our modern legal climate. I'm adding this to my presentation and will have to insure that protection for them is part of any formal project that gets launched.
