They complement the model-driven flood hazards on `/active-hazards-query`, capturing local flooding that is reported in the press but not always reflected in global flood models. The sample below is severe waterlogging across Delhi-NCR, India, corroborated across 50 articles. These hazards are returned by the [`/osint-hazards-query`](/osint-hazards/requesting-osint-hazards.md) endpoint, which requires a specific role on your credentials. {% hint style="warning" %} **Flood is the only OSINT type with no sub-type system.** `hazard_sub_type` is always an empty string (`""`) on a flood hazard, so filtering floods with the `sub_type` parameter returns nothing. Every other type is guaranteed to carry a non-empty sub-type. {% endhint %} ## Type-Specific Properties **Incident properties specific to floods:** * `rainfall_inches` — reported rainfall * `flood_depth_ft` — reported flood depth * `homes_flooded` — homes reported flooded * `roads_closed` — roads reported closed * `rescues` — rescues reported Because floods frequently close roads and rail, this type commonly carries the supply-chain fields. In the sample below, a national highway was flooded, so the hazard is returned by `supply_chain=true` with `SupplyChainInfrastructure: HIGHWAY` and `SupplyChainDisruptionType: CLOSURE`. **Quantitative counters (`n2h.quantitative`):** `rainfall_inches`, `flood_depth_ft`, `homes_flooded`, `roads_closed`, `schools_closed`, `power_outages`, `vehicles_stranded`, `rescues`, `deaths`, `injuries`. ## Sample Response ```json { "name": [ { "locale": "en", "value": "Severe Waterlogging and Traffic Disruptions — Delhi-ncr, India" } ], "description": [ { "locale": "en", "value": "A Flood incident was reported in Sadar Bazar, India\non 2026-07-07.\n Preliminary reports indicate 2 total victims comprised of 1 fatalities and 1 wounded.\n\nEvent Summary*:\n• Flood has been reported in Sadar Bazar, India.\n• 1 rescues reported.\n• Flood depth: 1.5 ft.\n• Reports indicate that at least 2 people have been affected.\n• Affected areas include: Sadar Bazar, India.\n\nBased on 50 article(s) from: abplive.com, mon...
