| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **type\_id**   | This is like the primary key for the hazard type. This is the value that will be found on the hazard object.                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| **type\_name** | A human readable value for the hazard e.g. Volcano.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| **type\_icon** | This is the url for the hazard type icon's image e.g. avalanche.png. The hazard icons are hosted at:[ https://static.pdc.org/icons/hazard/large/](https://static.pdc.org/icons/hazard/large/). To construct the fully qualified location for the hazard type's icon combine the host location with type\_icon value. |
