So you suggest that we help routers to blacklist these areas, which means living there will become even worse as various services depending on our data stop delivering there?

These no-go areas are very much based on estimates. Personally if we are marking hazards then my country can pretty much be marked as a hazard - for example the curent weather in January is strong winds and snow, meaning if you are outside in normal daily clothes you are not surviving more than a few hours.

This idea is for a dataset that should be solved on a local level with apps using OSM data and their own hazard estimations. This does not belong on OSM.
