Art Botterell commented on EMERGENCY-11:
----------------------------------------

Makes sense to me for 1.3. 

 For 2.0 I think we should probably revisit the definition and purpose of the <category> element.  I've never felt entirely comfortable with trying to fit the whole world of hazards into a fixed taxonomy.  In many of the early discussions I had the nagging sense that we were conflating the question of hazard-category with that of sending-agency-category.

> Doug Allport: I'm proposing we give Flood its own category in the next version of CAP. We have CAP-CP event references that are not meteorological (E.g. Dam breach) and our national dam association is going to propose one or more for regular alerts associated with rapid changes to spillways associated with meeting electrical power demand. We have CAP users creating their own Flood category for the management of their event references.
