This request will return an array that contains all of the hazard types. Each element in the array will have three properties:

Properties	Definitions
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/. To construct the fully qualified location for the hazard type’s icon combine the host location with type_icon value.
