Consider using hazard=landslide instead. It is less popular, but was recently approved as part of general hazard proposal (as of January 2021).
Summary
The tag hazard_type=landslide comprises all the hazards that involve massive displacement of earth, mud, stones... Although those hazards are quite different from each other, it is not easy for non-specialists to make the distinction. As this distinction is not essential for general humanitarian purposes, we thus propose to simplify the ontology.
