[HOT] Including natural hazards in the HOSM data model?

[Stéphane Henriod]

Dear all,

as promised, I have started a wiki page on this issue:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenHazardMap

If you are interested in the question of natural hazards, please have a
look at it, comment, update and criticize!

Best,

Stéphane
