Hi! Just want to say that I have started the OpenHazardMap wiki page because I saw it as something quite relevant for HOT and OSM but many people on the list had a different view.
Although I would be happy if my idea convinced the community I would discourage you to use the tags I have proposed before a consensus has been made! But maybe it's the occasion to bring up the topic again!
