  1. The hazard/feature has been is no longer present
  2. The hazard/feature was reported incorrectly
  3. The hazard/feature is no longer relevant to operations

Step 4. Change the hazard/feature status

You can choose one of the following statuses:
  1. Active (present hazards)
  2. Resolved (no longer exists)
  3. Inactive (exists but is dormant / inaccessible. This should rarely be used as the hazard will disappear from the map unless users have inactive hazards view activated)
  4. Misreported (added by mistake)
