For the Sendai quake there are specific tags that can be used for the Humanitarian response.

for most people who are tagging damaged roads one common one is “Tsunami damage: Flooding”

Question: do the State, or County or City emergency response community have OSM teams? (Answer = No),

Question: would they have mechanisms for using data contributed to OSM in the event of a disaster? (Answer: not at the moment, but they are looking at pre-disaster planning work that could use OSM to help plan for collection of authoritative data)

What can we do to prepare ourselves better for disasters that could occur here? Tsunami signs, evacuation routes, and sirens location information

Community Emergency Response teams would be one set of users of disaster data that was contributed to OSM
