+
+== Proposal (keith) ==
+
+To define "Incident Category" isn't an easy work.
+The Candian ems.incident seems too detail for a large disaster management system.
+e.g. It should be "Transport/Railway" instead of "Railway/Hijacking"
+We might start from small to define our own incident categories to increasing
+user experience without missing the flexibility and accuracy.
+
+The way to category is using preemptive way "number range":
+{{{
+    irs_incident_type_opts = {
+        1:T("Natural Disaster"),
+        2:T("Transport"),
+        3:T("Collapse, Illness, Injury, Trapped"),
+        4:T("Industrial"),
+    }
+
+    irs_incident_subtype_opts = {
+        100:(1, T("Flood")),
+        101:(1, T("Landslide")),
+        200:(2, T("Roads Brodken")),
+        201:(2, T("Bridges Broken ")),
+        300:(3, T("Buildings Collapsed")),
+        301:(3, T("People Trapped")),
+        400:(4, T("Power Failures")),
+    }
+}}}
+So ID 1~99 are major categories. ID 100~199 are under 1st Category "Nature Disaster".
+200~299 are under "Transport".
+
+If someone gonna create a new category, he *should* have a look at
+"THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR INCIDENT RECORDING"
+http://rds.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs08/countnsir08.pdf
+
+TODO:
+There should be "Please refer to the link of 'Make a request' for the need of helps"
+in the page before creating a incident report.
+
+It is what I can think of now to get most benefit for current usage and fine for future development.
+
+For now the code will only show the sub categories.

+If it's ok, the diff code is on http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~keitheis/sahana-eden/edentrunk/revision/1073
+
+If we had much more time and the amount of categories went out of control, we can try the top-down way of selecting gis location.
+(I've tried and find it needs much more effort to make it work.)
