-[[File:HzdCommentModule.png|300px|thumb|right|Fig. 1: Hazard comment workflow module]] The hazard comment workflow module allows users to enter a free-form description of the current avalanche problems and the resulting avalanche hazard. It is intended as a low-tech alternative to the [[Hazard assessment module]]. It is only possible to have either a single hazard comment or a single hazard assessment step in your workflow, not both.
