The response will include an array of objects that reflect the currently active hazards in the system. Each element in the array will include the following properties:
Properties
Definitions
app_ID
This is probably safe to ignore. This represents the application that created the hazard. Hazards are federated and can be synchronized by different versions of DisasterAWARE. In DAE most hazards will have an app_ID of 0. This means that the hazard was created by the “data core” or central processing for hazards. Hazards created by users or automated processes specific to an instance of DisasterAWARE will carry the application id of that system. Systems can set up rules for synchronization with other systems e.g. to share or not share hazards created within that environment.
app_IDs
Deprecated.
autoexpire
Indicates whether or not the hazard will automatically expire. There are different rules for how long a hazard shall persist.
category_ID
