Easy Does It; A City Government Public Record is NOT Copyrighted. It is the entirety of the Red Cross webpage which is.
Hey the more I think about it the algorithm is also a public record in the City of Portland... Also it is Fair Use. Please TALK HERE rather than reverting.

This information is potentially life saving.

If you want to go to Arb or talk here is what I propose: don't delete. I will notify the webmasters of the Red Cross site. I myself am a trained ARC shelter operations person and I have been on several mass evacuations and believe me the ARC is not going to have any problems.

Be sure to be aware of Fair Use intellectual property law.

My sister is an intel prop legal worker for the largest software company in the world and I am going to email this to her as well.

I myself am CUNY School of Law Class of 2000 and I am telling you this is a classic textbook case of Fair Use. Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 03:35, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Even if it's fair use, it's undue weight. The article doesn't need weighed down with the full text of an Oregon shelter's guidelines.


 * However, a sentence or two summarizing it may be appropriate. —C.Fred (talk) 03:38, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * As per talk pages, summarized: will outline other topics, then re-amplify that topic and/or separate article. Thanks. Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 04:05, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

History of shelters?
I did a cursory Google/Bing search but didn't find anything. I think a History section would benefit the article, including when the first warning shelters (v. general homeless shelters) were opened. I think it would provide good context to the article and information to the reader on whether this started recently, in the 1960s, the Great Depression, the Industrial Revolution, etc. —C.Fred (talk) 03:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I was getting to that. I thought the operational info was more important - admittedly undue weight as per our talk...is there enough up that I can remove the work in progress tag?

 * They seem to go back as far as 1945, when used in Berlin after the war. E. Fokker (talk) 04:03, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Nice hit! Cool - I had been beginning to feel rather beleaguered by editorial bashing but on this job I am actually receiving help. Hmmm....this could be the start of something beautiful.Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 04:07, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Not to be dismissive re the point ... I will look into extra caution when fleshing out this material on the four levels of standby because one thin about ARC is they are a little bit on the corporate-possessive side. Worst case scenario, will compose an encyclodpedic description, or obtain permission to use their language. The public agency/public record stuff is free to use but with full attribution, possibly in mainspace article text not all purely in italicized references. I think the key is whether it is a widely used system OR if they have kind of a pr9oprietary method. Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 04:54, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

US or international?
This article needs to clarify whether "Warming center" is a purely US concept (with the one international aspect of Berlin, presumably operated by US) or whether it's a general term used world-wide. Do they exist elsewhere, and if so under what names? PamD (talk) 09:25, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Seems (http://www.lfpress.com/news/london/2010/12/14/16551251.html) that in Canada, at least, the term is used for an emergency shelter for stranded motorists etc too. PamD (talk) 09:28, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * ref here re UK Severe Weather Emergency Provisions, and more here. PamD (talk) 09:36, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Would it be better to have a Task Force to avoid admin overhead or is a Project the Way to GO? Brothercanyouspareadime (talk) 01:19, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I just sent in a request here you can support or comment on my proposal. If you know anyone else who would be interested, in the real world or on wikipedia send them in that direction. cheers  --Guerillero &#124;  My Talk   02:18, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
