Natural Hazards Mitigation PlanCity of Glendale, CaliforniaAppendix E – GlossaryFaultFault slip rateFederal EmergencyManagementAgency (FEMA)Federal InsuranceAdministration(FIA)FillFire Potential Index(FPI)Flash floodFloodFlood depthFlood elevationFlood hazard areaFlood insuranceFlood InsuranceRate Map (FIRM)A fracture in the continuity of a rock formation caused by a shifting ordislodging of the earth's crust, in which adjacent surfaces aredifferentially displaced parallel to the plane of fracture.The average long-term movement of a fault (measured in cm/year ormm/year) as determined from geologic evidence.Independent agency created in 1978 to provide a single point ofaccountability for all Federal activities related to disaster mitigationand emergency preparedness, response and recovery.The component of the Federal Emergency Management Agency directlyresponsible for administering the flood insurance aspects of theNational Flood Insurance Program.Material such as soil, gravel, or crushed stone placed in an area toincrease ground elevations or change soil properties.Developed by USGS and USFS to assess and map fire hazardpotential over broad areas. Based on such geographic information,national policy makers and on-the-ground fire managers establishedpriorities for prevention activities in the defined area to reduce therisk of managed and wildfire ignition and spread. Prediction of firehazard shortens the time between fire ignition and initial attack byenabling fire managers to pre-allocate and stage suppression forces tohigh fire risk areas.A flood event occurring with little or no warning where water levelsrise at an extremely fast rate.A general and temporary condition of partial or complete inundationof normally dry land areas from (1) the overflow of inland or tidalwaters, (2) the unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surfacewaters from any source, or (3) mudflows or the sudden collapse ofshoreline land.Height of the flood water surface above the ground surface.Height of the water surface above an established elevation datum suchas the National Geodetic Vertical Datum, North American Vertical Datum,or mean sea level.The greater of the following: (1) the area of special flood hazard, asdefined under the National Flood Insurance Program, or (2) the areadesignated as a flood hazard area on a community’s legally adoptedflood hazard map, or otherwise legally designated.Insurance coverage provided under the National Flood InsuranceProgram.Under the National Flood Insurance Program, an official map of acommunity, on which the Federal Emergency Management Agency hasdelineated both the special hazard areas and the risk premium zonesapplicable to the community. (Note: The latest FIRM issued for acommunity is referred to as the effective FIRM for that community.)2006 PAGE E - 4
Natural Hazards Mitigation PlanCity of Glendale, CaliforniaAppendix E – GlossaryFlood InsuranceStudy (FIS)FloodplainFloodplainmanagementFloodplainmanagementregulationsFrequencyFunctionaldowntimeGeographic areaimpactedGeographicInformation Systems(GIS)GeotechnicalengineerGround motionGround ruptureUnder the National Flood Insurance Program, an examination,evaluation, and determination of flood hazards and, if appropriate,corresponding water surface elevations, or an examination, evaluation,and determination of mudslide (i.e., mudflow) and/or flood-relatederosion hazards in a community or communities. (Note: The NationalFlood Insurance Program regulations refer to Flood Insurance Studiesas “flood elevation studies.”)Any land area, including watercourse, susceptible to partial orcomplete inundation by water from any source.Operation of an overall program of corrective and preventivemeasures for reducing flood damage, including but not limited toemergency preparedness plans, flood control works, and floodplainmanagement regulations.Under the National Flood Insurance Program, zoning ordinances,subdivision regulations, building codes, health regulations, specialpurpose ordinances (such as floodplain ordinance, grading ordinance,and erosion control ordinance), and other applications of police power.The term describes such state or local regulations, in any combinationthereof, which provide standards for the purpose of flood damageprevention and reduction.A measure of how often events of a particular magnitude are expectedto occur. Frequency describes how often a hazard of a specificmagnitude, duration, and/or extent typically occurs, on average.Statistically, a hazard with a 100-year recurrence interval is expectedto occur once every 100 years on average, and would have a 1 percentchance – its probability – of happening in any given year. Thereliability of this information varies depending on the kind of hazardbeing considered.The average time (in days) during which a function (business orservice) is unable to provide its services due to a hazard event.The physical area in which the effects of the hazard are experienced.A computer software application that relates physical features on theEarth to a database to be used for mapping and analysis.A licensed civil engineer who is also certified by the State as qualifiedfor the investigation and engineering evaluation of earth materialsand their interaction with earth retention systems, structuralfoundations, and other civil engineering works.The vibration or shaking of the ground during an earthquake. When afault ruptures, seismic waves radiate, causing the ground to vibrate.The severity of the vibration increases with the amount of energyreleased and decreases with distance from the causative fault orepicenter, but soft soils can further amplify ground motionsDisplacement of the earth's surface as a result of fault movementassociated with an earthquake.2006 PAGE E - 5
