Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency AssistanceAct, PL 100-107 was signed into law November 23, 1988 andamended the Disaster Relief Act of 1974, PL 93-288. The Stafford Actis the statutory authority for most Federal disaster response activities,especially as they pertain to FEMA and its programs.The representative of state government who is the primary point ofcontact with FEMA, other state and Federal agencies, and local unitsof government in the planning and implementation of pre- andpostdisaster mitigation activities.A licensed civil engineer certified by the State as qualified to designand supervise the construction of engineered structures.Something constructed, such as a building, or part of one. Forfloodplain management purposes under the National flood InsuranceProgram, a walled and roofed building, including a gas or liquidstorage tank, that is principally above ground, as well as amanufactured home. For insurance coverage purposes under theNFIP, structure means a walled and roofed building, other than a gasor liquid storage tank, that is principally above ground and affixed toa permanent site, as well as a manufactured home on a permanentfoundation. For the latter purpose, the term includes a building whilein the course of construction, alteration, or repair, but does notinclude building materials or supplies intended for use in suchconstruction, alteration, or repair, unless such materials or suppliesare within an enclosed building on the premises.Damage of any origin sustained by a structure in a Special FloodHazard Area whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its beforedamagedcondition would equal or exceed 50 percent of the marketvalue of the structure before the damage.A typhoon with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph or more.The differential movement of two sides of a fracture – in other words,the location where the ground breaks apart. The length, width, anddisplacement of the ground characterize surface faults.Torsionally rigid, thin segments of the earth's lithosphere that may beassumed to move horizontally and adjoin other plates. It is the frictionbetween plate boundaries that cause seismic activity.Characterizes maps that show natural features and indicate thephysical shape of the land using contour lines. These maps may alsoinclude manmade features.A violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm tothe ground.A generic term for a cyclonic, low-pressure system over tropical orsubtropical waters.A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of less than 39mph.2006 PAGE E - 10
Natural Hazards Mitigation PlanCity of Glendale, CaliforniaAppendix E – GlossaryTropical stormTsunamiTyphoonUnconsolidatedsedimentsVulnerabilityVulnerabilityassessmentWildfireZoneA tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds greater than 39mph and less than 74 mph.Great sea wave produced by a submarine earthquake, landslide, orvolcanic eruption.A special category of tropical cyclone peculiar to the western NorthPacific Basin, frequently affecting areas in the vicinity of Guam andthe North Mariana Islands. Typhoons whose maximum sustainedwinds attain or exceed 150 mph are called super typhoons.A deposit that is loosely arranged or unstratified, or whose particlesare not cemented together, occurring either at the surface or at depth.Describes how exposed or susceptible to damage an asset is.Vulnerability depends on an asset's construction, contents, and theeconomic value of its functions. Like indirect damages, thevulnerability of one element of the community is often related to thevulnerability of another. For example, many businesses depend onuninterrupted electrical power – if an electric substation is flooded, itwill affect not only the substation itself, but a number of businesses aswell. Often, indirect effects can be much more widespread anddamaging than direct ones.The extent of injury and damage that may result from a hazard eventof a given intensity in a given area. The vulnerability assessmentshould address impacts of hazard events on the existing and futurebuilt environment.An uncontrolled fire spreading through vegetative fuels, exposing andpossibly consuming structures.A geographical area shown on a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)that reflects the severity or type of flooding in the area.2006 PAGE E - 11
