Add a system to tag buildings with the  NFPA 704 "Standard System for the Identification of the Hazards of Materials for Emergency Response". This is a standard maintained by the U.S.-based National Fire Protection Association. This helps determine what, if any, special equipment should be used, procedures followed, or precautions taken during the initial stages of an emergency response.

Examples

A fire diamond including a guide to reading fire diamonds.

Tagging

hazardous_materials=12-4 basically representing the numbers and value as they appear clockwise on the diamond starting from the '12'.
