Dear all,

I would like to propose to add*'flood'* as value to the *key 'hazard'* (to be used in combination with the tag*boundary=hazard*).

What already exists is the key flood_prone <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:flood_prone>=*which is mainly for roads that are known to be flooded frequently. The mapping descriptions include instructions for mapping flood prone waterway crossings, bridges, and highways. However, it is not intended to tag areas, which would be covered by the proposed new tag of hazard=flood for areas tagged as boundary=hazard.

Hello,

flood_prone=yes on areas does actually get a reasonable amount of use:

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1w7k

(about 3000 worldwide)

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dhazard has much less use

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1w7l

and seems so far been restricted to "fixed" areas such as (clicking at random)

 * A shooting range: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1149857565
 * An explosives depot: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1166217800

hazard=flooding is used, but mostly on hghways:

https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/1w7m

I'd suggest exploring taginfo (and the overpass links from it) to see what keys and values are in use already.  There may well be a use case for some new key/value, but I'm not convinced yet.  See e.g. https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/hazard#values and filter the various values.

Is "OpenHazardMap" an actual map or just a wiki page?  I ask because I live somewhere where river flooding is a thing (although usually of very low impact in terms of people or property) and I have created maps of "what is currently flooded" based on current measured level and previous observations.  See https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SomeoneElse/diary/398374 .

Best Regards,

Andy
