the freeway off of Railroad Canyon.

stated CalTrans yielded and contacted staff and everyone is working together to get a
design completed for that dual right turn to be submitted to CalTrans.

Land Use Map. He stated down-zoning and devaluating properties is wrong and

BUSINESS ITEMS
(1) CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION RECEIVED AND FILED THE
HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE
Community Development Director Preisendanz gave a brief overview and
introduced the City's consultant Hogle-Ireland. He indicated the Housing
Element was adopted in 1995, was updated in July of 2002 and State law
requires the Element to be updated every five years. He stated Housing of

Agenda Item No. 5
Page 11 of 26
Community Development (HCD) approved an extension of time until June of
2008.
Ms. Viado of Hogle-Ireland presented a brief overview of what their firm has been
doing with the update of the Housing Element. She gave a PowerPoint
presentation on housing statistics, census count, accomplishing the City's fair
share of housing needs, housing constraints, new legislation, i.e. S8 2 -
emergency shelters, S8 520 - reasonable accommodations, and indicated they
will make recommendations to address these issues and will ensure the City has
I
sufficient supporting documentation for when State and Federal grant funds need
b~~w~. \
I
I
Ms. Viado stated the three main areas to focuS for the City of Lake Elsinore are
the needs, constraints and resources which willi be used to form the housing plan
which will identify all quantifiable housing accomplishments of the City since
2002 plan was approved, modify or delete any bf the policies and programs from
2002 and identify any new policies and programs for this cycle.
Ms. Viado indicated she would address any 9uestions of the City Council and
Planning Commission. .,
Commissioner Flores indicated it would have b:een helpful to have a copy of the
PowerPoint presentation.
,
,
Chairman O'Neal inquired if the homes that are currently in foreclosure could be
turned over into above-moderate income. I
Ms. Viado indicated they could not.
Commissioner Zanelli inquired if there was anYI funding that came along with the
emergency housing for the homeless mandate.
Ms. Viado indicated there was not.
Commissioner Zanelli inquired what the minim~m standards for the facilities are
for homeless.
Ms. Viado responded there is as part of the Senate bill, information on what will
be required. I
Ms. Stetson of Hogle-Ireland responded the State does not specify exactly what
cities have to do for emergency housing. She 'stated cities need to address the
emergency housing whether it is for a couple of1nights stay or long term.
Commissioner Zanelli inquired about the number of people needed to be housed.
2
Agenda Item No.5
Page 12 of 26
Ms. Stetson responded there has to be zoning in place to allow somebody to put
an emergency shelter in the City.
Councilman Magee concurred with Commissioner Flores regarding having a
copy of the PowerPoint presentation. He inquired what the median-income
number was based off of.
Ms. Charpentier of Hogle-Ireland responded the median income for Riverside
County for the new 2008 standards is up to 62,000 and for the City of Lake
Elsinore is 48,305.
Councilman Magee inquired how the City will accomplish promoting estate
housing and will the document address this. He indicated the City is in dire need
of estate homes and this needs to be accommodated in the Housing Element
and in the City's General Plan.
Ms. Stetson responded it will not and is not a legislative mandate but can be
addressed in the City's Housing Element. She indicated estate homes would be
considered above-moderate and the City's goal is to facilitate 2,300 above-
moderate which can be anything from a standard 4-bedroom home to an estate
home.
Community Development Director Preisendanz agreed and stated the areas the
City is looking at are County Club Heights and some areas along the lake.
Councilman Magee inquired if vacant un-occupied structures can be considered.
Ms. Stetson responded the RHNA is really a requirement for new construction,
so units that were built long ago that are currently sitting vacant, do not count
towards meeting the current housing supply. She also indicated if housing was
built between January 2006 and January 2008, these can be counted towards
satisfying the current need for housing.
Councilman Magee indicated part of a balanced community and a balanced
inventory of housing stock includes the high-end as well as low-end housing.
Councilman Buckley suggested to consider incentives for high-end homes and to
consider what was done in Oakland. He stated hillside residential will be a key to
this, County Club Heights for the larger lots and also indicated the top of Flagstaff
Hill may also be considered for high-end homes.
City Attorney Leibold stated for Redevelopment inclusionary housing purpose is
the above-moderate income category does not come into play. She stated to
satisfy the Redevelopment Agency inclusionary housing requirement; the units
have to have a recorded covenant restricting both the income eligibility of the
occupant and the affordability of the unit in terms of purchase price, and resale
restrictions or affordable rent. She also indicated the units that are built to satisfy
3
Agenda Item No. 5
Page 13 of 26
the Agency inclusionary requirement can double serve to satisfy the RHNA target
obligations but the reverse is not necessarily true. She indicated the units that
satisfy the City's RHNA numbers do not have to have the long term restrictions
but the definitions of affordability are the same and the affordability calculation is
the same. She stated the numbers under RHNA are target numbers and the
numbers for inclusionary housing are absolute statutory obligations. She noted it
is an Agency obligation that can be facilitated through a City ordinance or
conditions of approval on new development.
Redevelopment Project Manager McCarty responded the City's outstanding
inclusionary obligation is projected by 2010 to be 800 units and 40% of those
units have to be restricted to very low-income.
Mayor Pro Tern Kelley inquired if the emergency housing requirements can be
satisfied by non-profits orthe City.
Ms. Stetson responded the City has to allow that type of emergency housing in
its zoning code by right.
Ms. Stetson indicated there is a provision in State law that says if there are units
that are really awful and there is a program to rehab these units, sometimes they
can be counted. She indicated the City will not be penalized if there are not
5,589 new units built between now and 2014. She noted the City is only
obligated, under current Housing law, to show the City has the capacity, because
of zoning and the General Plan to accommodate this number of units. She stated
it is up to the market to provide these units based on the regulations the City has
put in place.
Councilman Schiffner inquired what influence does this plan have or should it
have on the Council's decision as far as lot size and densities.
Ms. Stetson responded the State has provided an out, which says if the City has
a zoning category or General Plan Land Use designation that allows at least 30
units per acre, the State will not question whether or not very low and low income
housing can be built. She indicated if the City does not have densities in that 30+
range, it will be a little more difficult of a dialog with the State as to how the City is
going to meet the obligations to facilitate low and very low housing.
City Attorney Leibold stated one other distinction between the Agency
inclusionary housing obligation versus the City's target under RHNA, if the
project involves existing housing in what's called substantial rehabilitation, which
is the cost of the rehab equals or exceeds 25% of the after improved value of the
property or the improvements, then that can count to satisfy the inclusionary
obligation. She noted the summary of the income categories is the common
summary, but in actuality the low income calculations is not a straight
mathematical calculation of the 80% of median. She stated there are adjustments
made by HUD for a variety of reasons and the best way to understand what the
4
Agenda Item NO.5
Page 14 of 26
limits are for each of those categories is to look at the chart that is published
annually by HCD.
Mayor Hickman inquired who determines the number of 5,590 units.
Ms. Stetson responded it is determined by the SCAG and by the State.

(14) COUNCIL DENIES THE CITY OF CANYON LAKE'S REQUEST TO AMEND
THE CITY'S SPHERE OF INFLUENCE AND TO ANNEX FROM THE CITY OF
LAKE ELSINORE 22 ACRES TO CANYON LAKE
City Manager Brady provided the staff report. He stated this was a request from
the City of Canyon Lake to remove 162 acres of territory from Lake Elsinore's
Sphere of Influence and to detach 22 acres of incorporated area and annex it to
their City. He indicated Councilman Zaitz and City Manager Moss would like to
make a PowerPoint presentation to Council.
City Manager Moss provided the PowerPoint presentation to support their
request.
Nancy Gruttman-Tyler, Meadowbrook resident, spoke in opposition to the
annexation.
Grace Cox, County resident, spoke in opposition to the annexation.
Garry Grant, Meadowbrook resident, spoke in opposition to the annexation.
Dan Uhlry, resident, spoke in opposition to the annexation.
Mayor Hickman read an e-mail from Sherry and William Way who indicated they
supported Mr. Brady's recommendation to deny Canyon Lake's request for land
within Lake Elsinore's City limits.
Councilman Zaitz from Canyon Lake requested City Council not to accept staff's
recommendation and provided the City of Canyon Lake's reasons. He also
offered the City of Lake Elsinore's $50,000 of their CDBG Funds starting next
year for five years or hold the item over for further consideration by establishing
an ad-hoc committee to meet with and negotiate with the City of Canyon Lake
possible ways so that both could have a win-win proposition.

Agenda Item NO.5
Page 21 of 26
Councilman Magee requested staff to address the CDBG offer and inquired if it
was legal to accept.
City Attorney Leibold responded she was not certain whether the allocation to
Canyon Lake can be legally given to the City of Lake Elsinore and the rules with
respect to receiving those funds.
Councilman Magee noted his respect for Canyon Lake's City Manager and City
Council. He stated he was disappointed Council did not receive a fiscal analysis
until the meeting. He stated about two years ago, he met with Council members
Zaitz and Gibson about this proposal which at that time the intention was to
provide Canyon Lake with their own elementary school or City Yard which he
would support. He stated now they are left with an application, that was
unforeseen, for a commercial development which Lake Elsinore needs as well for
tax revenue. He stated he also has an obligation to the City and to the citizens of
Lake Elsinore. He noted while he sympathizes with the plight of Canyon Lake, he
cannot vote in favor of this request over the objections of the people of
Meadowbrook or over the backs of the people of Lake Elsinore.
Councilman Buckley agreed with Councilman Magee and indicated he would be
happy to do the annexation for a school or some other public use. He stated it
would be irresponsible for the City to essentially agree to subsidize the City of
Canyon Lake in the tune of $125,000 a year.
Councilman Schiffner stated he was very sorry about financial difficulties Canyon
Lake finds themselves in, if it is true. He noted he would not be serving Lake
Elsinore's community well if he gave this land away.
Mayor Pro Tern Kelley stated she could not support this request and noted this
area is a wonderful addition to Lake Elsinore.
It was moved by Councilman Magee, and seconded by Councilman Schiffner to
deny the City of Canyon Lake's request to amend the City's Sphere of Influence
and to annex from the City of Lake Elsinore 22 acres to Canyon Lake.

FROM:
ROBERT A. BRADY
CITY MANAGER
DATE:
MAY 27,2008
SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH RIVERSIDE COUNTY
FOR EASEMENTS RELATED TO THE FUTURE NICHOLS ROAD
Backaround
Alberhill Ranch, Tract 28214, the residential development located south of Lake Street
has been conditioned to construct Nichols Road between Collier Avenue and Lake
Street. Part of the approved alignment skirts the Multi-Species Habitat Conservation
Plan area controlled by Riverside County. To move forward with the future construction
of Nichols Road, City and County staff have been working together towards an
agreement which outlines the terms for which this construction can take place.
Discussion
City staff conditioned Tract 28214 to construct Nichols Road between Lake Street and
Collier Avenue as mitigation to the tract development. In order to construct this
circulation element roadway, the City and/or developer would be required to attain
permission from Riverside County for all encroachments. The item offered for
consideration is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and
Riverside County which identifies the terms where encroachment will be allowed. This
MOU identifies a slope easement, public storm drain easement, joint access easement,
temporary construction easement and a permanent right-of-way easement for roadway
purposes and will streamline the encroachment process.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact with this item.

SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN UPDATE STATUS REPORT
Discussion
Since the last update to the City Council on the General Plan Update, the Planning
Commission considered the Comprehensive General Plan Update at their regularly
scheduled meeting on April 15, 2008. At that meeting, City Staff presented an overview
of the project, highlighting the various components of the General Plan. Afterward, the
City's General Plan consultant, now known as "ICS International Jones & Stokes",
provided a Power Point presentation that recapped the General Plan Update process
and explained the arrangement of the required elements of the General Plan.
Following the presentation, the Commission took testimony from various individuals who
had submitted a "Request to Speak" form. A total of twenty-eight (28) "Request to
Speak" forms were submitted to the Planning Commission. Of the twenty-eight (28)
forms submitted, the Planning Commission heard eighteen (18) speakers. As such, the
General Plan was continued to April 29, 2008.
On April 29, 2008 the Planning Commission addressed the ten Requests to Speak that
were left over from the April 15 meeting. In addition, the Commission took new
testimony from people who filled out Requests to Speak on the night of April 29.
Discussions focused primarily on the areas along the lake edge (specifically along
Lakeshore Drive), Country Club Heights and other areas around City. Items that drew
specific attention included: concerns on the Circulation Plan, Pacific Clay land uses and
circulation pertaining thereto and the Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan
(MSHCP). Staff provided a recommendation on many of the requests that were made,
but some of the items required further analysis. At the conclusion of the meeting the
Chairman closed the Public Hearing.
At the regularly scheduled meeting of May 6, 2008, Chairman O'Neal requested that the
public hearing on the General Plan Update be reopened for the limited purpose of
allowing the public to respond to Staff's responses to change requests that were made
at the previous two public hearings. On May 6, 2008, the Commission unanimously
voted to add a new public hearing to the May 20, 2008, Planning Commission agenda
Agenda Item No. 11
Page 1 of 2
General Plan Update
May 27, 2008
Page 2
for the purpose of hearing public testimony on Staff's responses to change requests that
were made at the previous two public hearings.
At the May 20,2008, Planning Commission meeting, Staff provided a status update on
how it proposed to address concerns related to (1) Lake side properties, (2) properties
on the east side of Lakeshore Drive, (3) Country Club Heights and (4) general land use
fine tuning. In addition, staff clarified several issues that had been raised by an
anonymous letter circulated to residents in the Country Club Heights area.
The Commission unanimously agreed to instruct staff to continue "fine tuning" the Draft
Preferred Land Use Plan and to continue analyzing the change requests presented by
members of the public.
To complete our analysis, Staff must:
. Finish analyzing Planning Commission's recommended land use changes
. Finish analyzing private citizen change requests
. Finish fine tuning land use changes to the Preferred Land Use Plan
. Finish fine tuning any policy and/or textual changes to the General Plan or
District Plans
Our estimate is that we will be able to complete these tasks and come back to the
Planning Commission in July.

SUBJECT: GRANT OF EASEMENT TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON
COMPANY
Backaround
Southern California Edison Company (Edison), in an effort to provide service to Elsinore
Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD), has requested a utility easement across a
portion of City owned land in the Summerly development. This easement will allow
Edison to install underground power lines between an established service along the'
Cereal Street alignment to the future alignment of Diamond Drive. Electrical service will
then be available to the EVMWD station.
Discussion
The proposed alignment for the power line extends from the Cereal Street right-of-way
across City owned open space and connects with the alignment of Diamond Drive.
Edison is requesting a temporary construction easement and subsequent permanent
easement through the open space area. The open space or restoration area is a part of
the environmental mitigation identified in the EIR and is slated for planting in a future
phase. The EIR provides for utility easements in the restoration area.
Fiscal Impact
None, all costs related to this easement shall be the responsibility of Southern California
Edison.
Recommendation
Authorize the City Manager to process the easement documents and instruct staff to
forward the document to the County for recordation.

DATE:
MAY 27,2008
SUBJECT: 1-15/RAILROAD CANYON ROAD AND 1-15/SR-74 INTERCHANGE
UPDATE
Backaround
Staff is maintaining regular meetings with CAL TRANS to analyze data related to the
specific alternative for each interchange project. Each of the projects has gone through
several alternatives and both CAL TRANS and City staff are analyzing the traffic level of
service benefits of the respective alternatives.
Discussion
1-15/Railroad Canyon Road Interchange:
CAL TRANS is anticipated to be completed with the current traffic study review prior the
next project design team meeting on June 4,2008. This analysis is a refinement of the
original study which considers the impacts of the Franklin Street connection to 1-15.
Staff and the City's consultant will make corrections according to the team's comments
and have them submitted within two weeks. The next step will be to refine the
improvements needed at Railroad Canyon Road in response to the reduction of traffic
provided by the new connection.
1-15/SR-74:
City Staff met with CAL TRANS staff on May 15, 2008, to discuss a new geometric
alternative that proposes to replace the City's preferred alternative (partial cloverleaf)
design of 1-15/SR-74 interchange. This new alternative was a result of City and
CAL TRANS staff finding a solution to a safety concern with the partial clover alternative.
The geometrician from CAL TRANS identified a problem with a short deceleration
distance on the downhill grade of the southbound off ramp. The new alternative design
(see Exhibit A) provides a safer deceleration geometry than the previous alternative and
maintains a level of service that is acceptable to Caltrans. Additionally, the cost is

anticipated to be substantially less because of the reduction in right-of-way
requirements and fewer bridge structures.
The anticipated next steps are as follows:
Railroad Canyon Road/I-15:
1. Respond to comments on the current traffic study and determine the reduction in
traffic at Railroad Canyon Road.
2. Evaluate improvement alternatives at Railroad Canyon Rd.
3. Meet with FHW A Representative for continued comments and guidance. (This
step will be on an on-going basis.)
4. Complete Design, Environmental clearance and right-of-way acquisition.
5. Construct Project.
SR-74/1-15:
1. Present new alternative design to FHW A for concurrence.
2. City's consultant to conduct new traffic study to validate Caltrans in-house
study.
3. Submit geometric drawings of new alternative for Caltrans review and
approval.
4. Continue Environmental Clearance and Project Approval process based on
the new alternative design.

SUBJECT: RETAINER AGREEMENT FOR FORECLOSURE LEGAL SERVICES
Backaround
The City has contracted with the Law Offices of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP
for foreclosure legal services related to community facility and special assessment
district delinquencies. Attorney Carol J. Fogelman has performed those services for the
City for the past four years. Mrs. Fogelman recently left the firm and joined the Law
Offices of Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP based in Riverside, California. She has
requested that a new legal services agreement be presented to the City Council for
consideration.
Discussion
The Retainer Agreement for Legal Services with the Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP is
attached. The agreement is substantially the same as Mrs. Fogelman's prior contract.
There are three hourly rates listed in Attachment B. Since Carol is now a partnec her
rate is going from $200 to $245. The Associate rate will stay at $200 and the Paralegal
rate is $105. Most of the work will be done by her Paralegal. The term of the
agreement is for three (3) years. However, the agreement can be terminated at any
time with written notice. Additionally, the agreement has been reviewed and approved
by the City Attorney's office.
Fiscal Impact
The total annual cost of the services will be charged directly to the applicable
community facility or special assessment districts and will vary based upon the hours of
services needed.

("City") agree that Burke will provide legal services to the City. The hallmark of any
productive professional relationship is effective communication, and we would invite you
to contact us at any time during or after our representation with regards to any
questions you may have associated with our representation or the matters described
herein.

attention, to abide by this Agreement, to pay Burke's bills on time, and to keep Burke
advised of any change of circumstance that may affect the representation. City will
assist Burke in providing necessary information and documents and will appear when
necessary at legal proceedings.
4. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Before accepting to represent City, Burke
has undertaken reasonable and customary efforts to determine whether there are any
potential conflicts of interest or adversity of positions between City and any other person
or entity that would bar Burke from representing City in general or in any of the specific
matters listed in Attachment A. Burke has reviewed this issue in accordance with the
Rules of Professional conduct adopted in California. Burke believes that those rules,
rather than the rules of any other jurisdiction, are applicable to City's representation.
City's execution and return of the enclosed copy of this letter represents an express
agreement to the applicability of the Rules of Professional conduct adopted in California
to any and all representation arising under this Agreement.
5. DISCLOSURE. Pursuant to the requirements of California Business &

to City's matter, including calls with City staff, property owners, financial institutions, or
court personnel. The legal personnel assigned to City's matter may confer among
themselves about the matter, as required and appropriate. When they do confer, each
person will charge for the time expended, as long as the work done is reasonably
necessary and not duplicative. Likewise, if more than one of the legal personnel
attends a meeting, court hearing or other proceeding, each will charge for the time
spent. Burke will charge for waiting time in court and elsewhere and for travel time,
both local and out of town.

fees and costs incurred. Each statement will be payable within 30 days of its mailing
date. City may request a statement at intervals of less than 30 days. If City so

request to any files in Burke's possession relating to the legal services performed by
Burke for City, excluding Burke's internal accounting records and other documents not
reasonably necessary to City's representation, subject to Burke's right to make copies
of any files withdrawn by City. Once a matter is concluded, Burke will close the file, and
City will receive notice thereof. City's physical files may be sent to storage offsite, and
thereafter there may be an administrative cost for retrieving them from storage. Thus, it

remain in Burke's possession. City will be invited to retrieve these client materials within
45 days of notice, or City may direct Burke to forward the client materials to City, at
City's expense. If within 45 days of this notice City fails to retrieve the client materials or
request Burke to forward them, City authorizes Burke to destroy the client materials.
After the 45-day period, Burke will, consistent with all applicable rules of
professional conduct, use its discretion as to the retention or destruction of all attorney
work product and any client materials that remain with Burke.
12. MEDIATION/ARBITRATION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. If a dispute
arises out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement between City and Burke, or the

litigation, or any other dispute resolution procedure. Nothing herein shall limit or
otherwise affect your the right under Sections 6200-6206 of the California Business and
Professions Code to request arbitration of any fee dispute by an independent, impartial
arbitrator or panel of arbitrators through a bar association program created solely to
resolve fee disputes between lawyers and clients. However, should discussions,

CITY MANAGER
DATE:
MAY 27,2008
SUBJECT: GRANT OF EASEMENT FOR STORM DRAIN CONSTRUCTION AND
MAINTENANCE
Backaround
Broadstone River's Edge is a multifamily apartment project located on Lakeshore Drive
adjacent to the San Jacinto River. The project was required by conditions of approval to
provide a storm drain system to convey on site water to the lake. To comply with this
requirement, the project is requesting an easement for this facility. The easement
agreement will allow the developer to enter City right-of-way for construction, re-
construction and maintenance of this outlet structure. In compliance with the National
Pollution Discharge Elimination System, storm water from the site will be diverted
through a clean-water facility prior to discharge into the lake.
Discussion
Broadstone River's Edge is requesting the City to approve and process an easement for
construction, re-construction and maintenance purposes for the storm drain outlet
structure. The construction of the outlet structure has been completed under an
encroachment permit and this agreement permanently obligates the property owner and
their successor to maintain this facility. This action will establish the property owner's
permanent rights to gain access for construction and maintenance activities for this
structure located between the San Jacinto River and Elm Street extending from the rear
of the project into the Lake Elsinore inlet channel.
Fiscal Impact
None, all costs related to this easement shall be the responsibility of Broadstone River's
Edge Alliance, LLC or their successors.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROBERT A. BRADY
CITY MANAGER
DATE: MAY 27, 2008
SUBJECT: A REQUEST BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY FOR THE COUNTY OF
RIVERSIDE FOR THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE TO ADOPT A
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR JUDICIAL
OFFICERS
Backaround
The District Attorney for the County of Riverside, Rod Pacheco, has asked the City to
adopt a resolution supporting his office's request to fund additional judicial officers to
serve Riverside County. He would forward the resolution to State Senators Denise
Ducheny and Bob Duttor who are the Chair and Vice-chair, respectively, of the Senate
Budget Committee. A copy of the resolution would also be sent to Governor
Schwarzenegger.
Discussion
The Riverside County District Attorney states that Riverside County has 76 judicial
officers and that State Court figures based on population and existing caseload
suggests that 133 judicial officers are needed. He also indicates that the County was
on track to receive the additional judicial officers, however, the funding allocations for
Fiscal Years 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 are at risk. Mr. Pacheco states the following
problems are due to a lack of resources:
. Last minute trial assignments to any court in the various geographical corners
of Riverside County continue to cause a negative impact on victims who must
travel over fifty (50) miles to testify making them feel even more like a victim;
. Riverside County courts continue to dismiss felony and misdemeanor cases,
unprecedented in any other part of the state;
. Last minute criminal trial assignments to any court in the various geographical
corners of Riverside County create a reduction in law enforcement in each
community, negatively impacting the safety of our citizens;

. Civil cases have been almost completely stopped as the civil courts have
worked to address the criminal cases;
. Citizens attempting to resolve civil disputes do not have full access to any
judicial forum in Riverside County;
. The caseload in Riverside County is so high and the backlog of civil and
criminal cases is so substantial, it cannot be fixed by providing additional
short-term resources as the State has done since August, 2007.
Fiscal Impact
No direct fiscal impact to the City.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution supporting the
Riverside County District Attorney's request to the State for full funding of additional
judicial officers to serve Riverside County.

REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO:
HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM:
ROBERT A. BRADY
CITY MANAGER
DATE:
MAY 27,2008
SUBJECT: CITIZEN CORPS FRAMEWORK-PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY
COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Backaround
The Public Safety Advisory Commission has developed a plan for organizing and
coordinating community volunteers to assist first responders before and after a disaster
strikes. The attached Citizen Corps Framework is the product of the Citizen Corps
subcommittee, which worked closely with City and OES staff over a six month period.
The framework outlines a three year program for creating a local Citizen Corps and
Citizen Corps Council, based on the national Citizen Corps model. By the third year, 50-
300 citizen participants would be trained as lead and active volunteers in the Lake
Elsinore Citizen Corps. The third year goal is to establish a backbone volunteer network
that is capable of serving between 50-80% of the City's population.
Discussion
One goal of the City's emergency preparedness plan is to develop a program to train,
organize and mobilize disaster response volunteers. A PSAC subcommittee comprised
of Commissioners Nicole Dailey and Jay Stewart was tasked with researching and
preparing a written framework for organizing a Lake Elsinore Citizen Corps.
The vision of the PSAC is to prepare our citizenry for disasters of all kinds through
public safety education and outreach, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)
training and volunteer service opportunities under the Lake Elsinore Citizen Corps.
The key to managing a Citizen Corps is establishing the Citizen Corps Council (CCC).
This CCC is comprised of public safety officials, City and agency representatives and
citizens (Le., representatives of key businesses and community based organizations).
Agenda Item No. 17
Page 1 of 63
Citizen Corps Framework
May 27,2008
Page 2
The attached Citizen Corps Framework offers a comprehensive discussion of risks,
organizational considerations, staffing requirements and costs. The PSAC wishes to
recognize the assistance of City staff and Cynthia Quigley, Riverside County
Emergency Operations Coordinator, who guided this effort.
Fiscal Impact
The PSAC is recommending an initial $10,000 in the FY 2008-09 General Fund budget
to start the Citizen Corps program. Funding is for equipment and supplies, CERT
training and associated costs for establishing the Citizen Corps Council.
Cost recovery through grantsmanship would be a significant function of the Citizen
Corps Council, once established. To date, staff has successfully obtained grant
reimbursement for CERT training, CSTI training and purchase of emergency equipment.
Additional labor costs for starting up the Citizen Corps Council are not included in this
recommendation, though the PSAC has prepared a rationale for a future position that
would combine existing emergency preparedness and PSAC administrative duties with
the functions of agency liaison, safety training coordinator and Citizen Corps Council
administrator.
Recommendation
Consider PSAC recommendation to approve the draft Citizen Corps Framework as a
new element of the City's Emergency Preparedness Plan and provide direction with
regard to establishing a Citizen Corps Council and start up funding to implement the
Citizen Corps Framework.

Draft Citizen Corps Framework
1. Introduction to the Framework
5
A. Citizen Corps mission
1. The Mission of a volunteer-based Citizen Corps is to harness the power of every individual
through education, training and volunteer service to make communities safer, stronger and
better prepared for terrorism, crime, public health issues and disasters of all kinds.
B. Statement of purpose
1. The City Council has entrusted the Public Safety Advisory Commission with the role of
assisting staff in furthering emergency preparedness Citywide.
2. Establishing a volunteer Citizen Corps to organize, train, equip and activate citizens during
an emergency is a desirable element of the City's emergency operations plan.
3. To this end, a Citizen Corps Subcommittee was tasked with developing a written framework
for creating a local Citizen Corps Council (CCC) and defining action steps to lead and sustain
the Citizen Corps once the CCC has been established.
4. The primary focus is upon establishing a permanent Citizen's Corps Council within six
months of the adoption of the Citizen Corps Framework.
5. An equal task is to evaluate staffing to carry out public safety and related emergency
preparedness activities and to make a budget rationale for authorizing a new Public Safety
position at such time as it is affordable.
C. A framework approach
1. The Citizen Corps Subcommittee has developed a step by step outline for establishing the
Citizen Corps Council.
2. The Citizen Corps Council will use this framework to prepare annual operating goals and
objectives, a program budget and an implementation schedule for the new Citizen Corps.
2. Situation Analysis
A. Existing conditions and threats
1. The City of Lake Elsinore Emergency Operations Plan is the blueprint for responding to
extraordinary emergency situations, either natural or man-made.
2. The City's Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies and ranks vulnerability by type, including:
a. Natural Hazards
i. Wildland fires
ii. Earthquake
Hi. Flooding
iv. Extreme weather
v. Landslides
vi. Insect infestation

3. Radiological
4. Nuclear
5. Explosive
ii. Civil unrest
iii. Jails and prisons incidents
3. For most of the scenarios described above, it is likely that emergency responders could be
overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the incident.
6
B. Updating our risk assessment
1. A ranking of local jurisdiction vulnerability in 2004 depicts a city that is at the greatest risk at
any given time in the order shown:
a. Flood (see Appendix C)
b. Earthquake (see Appendix B)
c. Wildland fire (see Appendix A)
2. Today, this rank order is being reexamined, largely in the aftermath of California's
devastating 2007 wildfires and recent map and computer analysis of fire risk developed by
CAL FIRE. (see Appendix A)
3. Our conclusion is that the City of Lake Elsinore citizenry must be better prepared.
4. A prepared citizenry is the difference between effective self-help and merely waiting for help
that may not arrive for days.
C. Growth Impacts
1. From 2007 to 2008, Lake Elsinore's population grew from 47,669 to 49,807, a 4.5% change
according to the California Department of Finance. In 2007, Lake Elsinore was the 2nd fastest
growing city in Riverside County and ranked as the 3rd fastest growing city in the state.
2. Lake Elsinore consists of a 38 square mile area, including a 3000 acre lake, which is Southern
California's largest natural lake.
3. According to the City's General Plan Update, Lake Elsinore's population is expected to reach
116,472 by 2030, based on preferred land-use densities.
DB_Citizen Corps Framework_PSAC0514_revgTOC
Agenda Item No. 17
Page 8 of 63
Draft Citizen Corps Framework
4. These statistics underscore the need to proactively increase the City's emergency
preparedness through direct citizen outreach and involvement.
7
D. Performance gaps
1. The City Council has made public safety its number one priority. Currently, the City spends
42%, or about $13 million of its $32 million operating budget on public safety; namely,
police and fire services.
2. Despite this commitment to public safety, first responders would be terribly spread thin in
the first hours or days of a catastrophic event such as an earthquake.
3. Even if spending on police and fire services were dramatically increased each year, the City's
vulnerability would far exceed our Public Safety resources, because the City currently lacks a
unified volunteer organization to assist in the event of a major disaster.
E. Preliminary steps taken in the right direction
1. The City has taken positive steps to address the gap above; namely, increasing operational
readiness and emphasis on Emergency Preparedness Planning.
2. The City has obtained grant funding to equip the City Yard with portable emergency trailers
that contain emergency supplies and equipment to be deployed and used by trained CERT
volunteers.
3. The City has also increased its commitment to training its employees and has sent a growing
number of its workforce to CERT classes.
4. In addition, the City has regularly attended disaster planning meetings of the Southwest
Com group and participated in regional Emergency Operations Center training exercises.
5. The next step is to establish a permanent program for training and equipping citizen
volunteers using the national model for Citizen Corps.
3. Background of Citizen Corps
1. Citizen Corps is a comparatively new management and coordinating program created by the
federal government in response to the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.
2. Many government and volunteer groups have expressed the value of having a recognized
organizational structure to gather volunteers and groups together to augment local emergency
planning efforts.
3. A general model exists for local Citizen Corps Councils, the basic structure of the Citizen Corps,
though the federal founding documents ultimately leave each locality to develop a suitable
structure using available resources.
4. The four charter federal programs of the Citizen Corps as defined by the Department of
Homeland Security are: Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), Neighborhood Watch
Program (NWP), Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) and the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC).
5. Membership in the CCC is not limited to its core components. Other organizations that might
appropriately be members of a CCC include: American Red Cross, Business associations,
08_Citizen Corps Framework_PSAC0514_revgTOC
Agenda Item No. 17
Page 9 of 63
Draft Citizen Corps Framework
Community Based Organizations, other agencies, non-profit groups (Le., churches), clubs and
individuals.
6. A CCC is essentially a management and coordinating body, not an operational unit, though it is
closely linked to operational entities and first responders.

4. Rationale for a Lake Elsinore Citizen Corps
A. Constant state of readiness
1. A Citizen Corps exists primarily to increase community awareness and readiness for a variety
of disaster scenarios through training volunteers and staff; through gathering resources and
equipping volunteers; through drills and emergency exercises; and through cooperation
with first responders in planning and mitigation assistance.
2. The Citizen Corps volunteers are not intended to replace a community's response capability,
but rather, to serve as an important supplement to it. The Citizen Corps is a volunteer
resource that is a part of the community's operational capability before, during and
following a disaster.
3. Citizen Corps provides continuing opportunities for voluntary involvement and participation
in a range of activities to make families, households, and communities safer from threats
and disasters of all kinds.
B. Self-reliance
1. Following a disaster, elements of a Citizen Corps, such as Neighborhood Watch and CERT,
can activate immediately to perform a vital role in disaster mitigation.
2. Most notably, Citizen Corp participants are trained to be better prepared and better
protected themselves, in order to effectively help their communities do the same.
3. The City currently has many volunteer organizations and resources from which to develop an
active Citizen Corps, as shown in Appendix D.
C. Maintain order
1. The City's Emergency Operations Plan is intended primarily to enable emergency service
coordination through preparation, training and mobilization in the event of a disaster.
Maintaining order is paramount to an effective emergency response and recovery.
2. By empowering citizens to prepare and protect their households and neighborhoods, first
responders can more effectively deploy to areas of highest need following a disaster.
3. Lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina include educating the public to be prepared to be
self sufficient longer than previously taught; that is, from 3 days to between 5-7, or more.
4. As witnessed during the Katrina incident, in the absence of first responders and trained
volunteers to fill this gap, order simply cannot be maintained.
DB_Citizen Corps Framework_PSAC0514_revgTOC
Agenda Item No. 17
Page 10 of 63
Draft Citizen Corps Framework
D. Continuity of services
1. The main task of local government and first responders following an emergency is to
preserve or build-up the level of services needed to cope with disaster impacts.
2. A Citizen Corps can help narrow the gap between community expectations and community
assistance, so first responders can concentrate on their primary duties under the Incident
Command System.
3. A disaster response in many of the vulnerability scenarios that affect Lake Elsinore is the
shelter in place order. This would increase the City's reliance on trained volunteers to provide
assistance immediately following a disaster and up to several days or weeks afterwards.
9
E. Recovery
1. The principle philosophy of a Citizen Corps is getting the community back to normal
following extraordinary events or catastrophic loss.
2. Strengthening a community by educating and training citizens to be prepared before disaster
strikes, and self-reliance in times of a disaster are the primary benefit of a Citizens Corps.
5. The Role of CERT Volunteers in Emergency Preparedness or During a
Disaster
A. Overview
1. The goal of using volunteers as helping hands to prepare and respond to a disaster is to save
lives and protect property.
2. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) concept was developed in response to
the view that citizens most likely will be on their own during the early stages of a
catastrophic disaster.
3. CERT was implemented in 1985 by the LAFD, which concluded that basic training in disaster
survival and rescue skills could improve the ability of citizens to survive until responders or
other assistance is available.
4. CERT was selected as one of the primary programs offered to the American public in
response to President Bush's 2003 call to action for citizens to be prepared to threat of
disaster of all kinds.
5. In 1994, The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under the auspices of the
Emergency Management Institute (EMI), expanded CERT training to prepare individuals to
help themselves, their families and their neighbors in the event of catastrophic disaster.
B. Family and household preparedness
1. The CERT program can provide an effective first-response capability. Acting as individuals
first, CERT volunteers are trained to prepare in advance of a disaster event.
2. Depending on the severity and type of disaster, it may take from several hours to several
days for emergency responders to arrive. Therefore, immediately following a disaster-
08_Citizen Corps Framework]SAC0514_revgTOC
Agenda Item No. 17
Page 11 of 63
Draft Citizen Corps Framework
often up to 5-7 days or longer-individuals, households and neighborhoods may need to
rely on their own resources for food, water first aid and shelter.
3. Preparedness, planning, survival skills and mutual aid will make the difference
coping with the aftermath of disaster within the first hours and days.
~~
10
C. A Supporting role before first responders arrive
1. CERT volunteers are trained to respond in their neighborhoods and communities to address
immediate needs brought about by the disaster.
2. The Key CERT training functions include:
a. Fire Safety
b. Medical Operations
c. Light search and rescue
d. Disaster psychology
3. Acting as teams, trained CERT volunteers can fan out within their assigned areas performing
the following:
a. Extinguishing small fires
b. Turning off natural gas inlets to damaged homes
c. Performing light search and rescue
d. Rendering basic medical treatment
e. Helping disaster survivors cope with emotional stressors
D. Specialized roles for advanced CERT members:
1. After completing initial CERT training, many seek to expand and improve their skills through
specialized training in the following areas:
a. Shelter management
b. Community relations
c. Donations management
d. Special needs concerns
e. Debris removal
f. Utilities control
g. Advanced first aid
h. Automated External Defibrillator use
i. CPR skills
2. Lake Elsinore is fortunate to have a diverse community and a broad pool of skills from which
to draw upon following a disaster.
3. The advantage of having a Citizen Corps program is the ability to increase public awareness
and attract skilled volunteers in advance disaster needs.

1. The City's staff support for PSAC and public safety is provided by multiple departments,
at work levels ranging from clerical assistance to administrative coordination and legal
consultation.
2. The PSAC has previously recognized the need for additional PSAC administrative
support. Emergency services planning and Citizen Corps program oversight could
justifiably be combined into a new central administrative position.
B. Citizen Corps staff needs by function
1. The Subcommittee has expressed its view that existing staff would not be able to
implement a new ongoing program such as the Citizen Corps without affecting ongoing
work priorities.
2. The list below characterizes the type of tasks to be performed in support of the Citizen

Web site maintenance, Community partnerships, etc.)
h. Finance (Budget preparation, Grant monitoring &writing, auditing, etc.)
i. Neighborhood Watch liaison (meetings, outreach)
j. Legal services (as needed)
C. Staffing recommendations
1. The Citizen Corps subcommittee believes additional staffing will be needed to effectively
carry out the Citizen Corps program and ongoing emergency preparedness tasks.
2. The primary need is for a central administrative staff position to oversee public safety
programs and emergency preparedness planning.

Draft Citizen Corps Framework
3. The duties of a new public safety position would include:
a. Emergency Preparedness planning
b. Emergency Operations coordination
c. PSAC administration
d. Safety training
e. Citizen Corps Council administration
4. Public Staffing considerations should be a part of the FY 2008-09 budget consultation
process.
5. The PSAC should immediately begin working with staff to develop the rationale for a
new public safety position, appropriate job description, salary range and budget
request.
6. The PSAC should inform the City Council of any staff recommendations prior to the FY
2008-09 budget.
7. The PSAC recognizes that funding and hiring additional professional staff at a given time
is subject to revenue availability and budget authorization by the City Council.
9. Budget Requirements
A. Program Cost considerations
1. The subcommittee recommends a $10,000 budget request in FY 2008-09 to seed the
start-up costs of a Citizen Corps Council.
2. Expenditures would be for safety equipment, communications equipment, emergency
supplies, administrative and training costs. This funding would be used at the discretion
of the Citizen Corps Council.
3. Grant funds have successfully been used for EOC and CERT equipment and supplies; the
Citizen Corps Council should be successful in applying for additional grants to defray first
year and ongoing operating expenses.
B. Staffing Costs
1. A separate discussion is needed to define an appropriate administrative position and
related salary to take the City's Emergency Preparedness efforts, Citizen Corps and
Public Safety programs to the next level.
2. The subcommittee consensus is that now is the right time for the City to consider an
administrative Public Safety position, or at such time as it is affordable.

REGION: Local fault capable of 7.5-magnitude quake
20
By DAVE DOWNEY - Staff Writer/Monday, April 14, 2008/6:58 PM PDT
Devastatingly large earthquakes ---- more destructive than
previously imagined ---- could rock a fault line that slices
under Temecula, Palomar Mountain and Julian, according to
a report released Monday that delivers the first-ever
statewide forecast of future temblors.
Geologists have often said the Elsinore fault, which could
cause shock waves to cascade across northern San Diego
and southern Riverside counties, was capable of generating
quakes of up to magnitude 7 but no larger.
But Tom Rockwell, a San Diego State University geologist
and expert on the fault, said in a telephone interview Monday
that scientists now believe the Elsinore could trigger a quake
as big as 7.5.
That means the fault is capable of producing quakes that are three times more powerful and release five
times as much energy as previously believed.
Earthquake magnitudes are measured on a logarithmic scale. An increase of 1 translates into 10 times
more power.
Rockwell was one of several scientists who worked on the report. Another was Chris Wills, supervising
engineering geologist for the California Geological Survey in Sacramento.
"Bigger earthquakes are possible," Wills said.
On the positive side, however, because the fault is capable of shedding more of its accumulated stress in
a single event than previously thought, quakes are likely to occur less often, he said.
In the first statewide forecast compiled by the state and federal survey agencies and the Southern
California Earthquake Center, scientists said there is an 11 percent chance over the next 30 years that
the fault will trigger an earthquake on the order of Northridge. That 1994 Los Angeles shaker measured
6.7 on the earthquake magnitude scale.
I n a more narrowly focused 1995 report, scientists said such quakes had a 24 percent chance of
occurring on the Elsinore.
The new statewide forecast also downgraded the likelihood of a Northridge-style quake striking the San
Jacinto fault over the next three decades ---- from 61 percent to 31 percent. That fault is parallel to the
Elsinore and to the east, running from Hemet in Riverside County to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park in
San Diego County.
However, scientists concluded there is nearly a 6-in-10 chance an earthquake like Northridge will break
along the San Andreas fault. Capable of producing a magnitude 8 shaker, the southern leg of the San
08_Citizen Corps Framework_PSAC0514_revgTOC

Draft Citizen Corps Framework
Continued
Andreas runs between San Bernardino and the border through the Salton Sea.
21
There is a 97 percent chance such a quake will strike Southern California by 2038 and a 93 percent
chance that one will rock Northern California, the report said.
"It's almost a sure thing in either half of the state," Wills said.
He said scientists made the 6.7 -magnitude Northridge quake their yardstick because so many people
remember it. Northridge killed 72, injured more than 9,000, knocked out Interstate 10 in downtown Los
Angeles and caused $25 billion in damage.
Still, scientists did go beyond that threshold and found there is a 94 percent chance a magnitude 7 quake
will occur somewhere in the state in the next 30 years and a 46 percent chance that a magnitude 7.5
temblor will strike.
The probability of a magnitude 8 quake is smaller: 4.5 percent.
Size doesn't always matter, however. Damage is determined in large part by location.
"A 6.7 will occur during the next 30 years, and I expect several," Wills said. "If we're lucky, they'll be like
the Hector Mine earthquake. It was entirely on a Marine base (Twentynine Palms). It didn't affect
anybody."
That remote 1999 quake was huge ---- it registered 7.1 ---- but it caused little damage.
"If we're unlucky, it will be like Northridge," Wills said.
As for individual faults, predictions were made only for the most active. No forecast was delivered for the
Rose Canyon fault offshore of Oceanside and San Diego.
Forecasts for the more active Elsinore and San Jacinto faults were altered because of something
scientists learned from another desert quake, the 7.3-magnitude Landers of 1992.
Before then, geologists thought a quake could rock just one segment of a fault.
Faults tend to be broken up in several segments. In the case of the Elsinore fault, Lake Elsinore's
namesake body of water divides the Glen Ivy segment to the north and the Temecula segment to the
south. And the two ends are more than a mile apart.
But Landers shattered the one-at-a-time theory.
"It broke all or parts of five faults," Rockwell said. "We would not have predicted that prior to that
earthquake."
Rockwell said scientists now believe a quake could start on the Coyote Mountains segment near the
border and rip across the Julian and Temecula segments ---- and possibly even jump Lake Elsinore.

Assessing Risk: Inundation
Draft Citizen Corps Framework
~&l~W~
22
Lake Elsinore is the terminus of the 750 square-
mile San Jacinto River Watershed. Studies of
flood risk show that Lake Elsinore is vulnerable
to inundation from natural flooding and from
catastrophic dam failure. Three upstream
drinking water reservoirs with five dams
combined are Canyon Lake (EVMWD), Lake Hemet
(LHMWD) and Diamond Valley Lake (MWD).
Figure 1. lake Elsinore lies at the bottom of the San
Jacinto River Watershed and receives all river flows.
Railroad Canyon Dam was constructed in 1927 and
reinforced in 1998. The dam impounds 12,000 acre-
feet of water (one acre foot equals 236,000 gallons of
water). The entire dam acts as a spillway; any flows
over the spillway enter Lake Elsinore.
Figure 2 below illustrates inundation from Metropolitan Water District of Southern California's Diamond
Valley Lake. Instances of a dam
failure upstream would result in a
surge of water into the San Jacinto
River that would cause portions of
the City to flood. The Lake would
rapidly rise and the excess water
would breach the overflow weir in
the back basin, flooding the area
behind the levee that has been
designed for flood water storage
of 30, 000 acre-feet of water.

Glossary of Emergency Management Terms [Abridged]
This descriptive list from FEMA is eye-opening and convincing as to why Lake Elsinore is now focusing its
capabilities, resources and planning on preparing for disasters of all kinds using the Citizen Corps model.
Glossary of Emergency Management Terms
April 2007
This "Select Emergency Management-Related Terms and Definitions" document has been compiled by
B. Way~e Blan~hard, Ph.D., CEM, FEMA emergency management higher education project manager,
for use In the Higher Education Project course, "Theory, Principles and Fundamentals of Hazards,
Disasters and U.S. Emergency Management."
This is not a comprehensive list of emergency management terms and definitions. If you have
suggestions for the list, please e-mail them for consideration to Dr. Wayne Blanchard.

Terms and Definitions
A
Acceptable Risk: That level of risk that is sufficiently low that society is comfortable with it. Society does
not generally consider expenditure in further reducing such risks justifiable. (Australian National 1994)
Acceptable Risk: Degree of humans and material loss that is perceived as tolerable in actions to
minimize disaster risk. (Nimpuno 1998)
Acceptable Risk: Degree of human and material loss that is perceived by the community or relevant
authorities as tolerable in actions to minimize disaster risk. (U.N. 1992, 3)
Accident: "The word 'accidental' carries with it the connotations of both something that occurs by
chance and something non-essential or incidental" (Allinson 1993, 15). "The thesis that 'accidents will
happen' and that therefore nothing can be done to prevent their occurrence reaches its logical fulfillment
in the thesis of Charles Perrow that accidents are so inevitable and therefore non-preventable that we
are even justified in calling them 'normal'" (Allinson, p.16).
Accident: "Unintended damaging event, industrial mishap" (Disaster and Emergency Reference Center
1998 ).
Accident: "An unexpected or undesirable event, especially one causing injury to a small number of
individuals and/or modest damage to physical structures. Examples would be automotive accidents or
damage from lightning striking a house." (Drabek 1996, Session 2, p. 3)
Accident: ". . .situations in which an occasion can be handled by. . .emergency organizations. The
demands that are made on the community are within the scope of domain responsibility of the usual
emergency organizations such as police, fire, medical and health personnel. Such accidents create
needs (and damage) which are limited to the accident scene and so few other community facilities are
damaged. Thus, the emergency response is delimited in both location and to the range of emergency
activities. The primary burden of emergency response falls on those organizations that incorporate
clearly deferred emergency responsibility into their domains. When the emergency tasks are completed,
there are few vestiges of the accident or lasting effects on the community structure" (Dynes 1998, 117).

Accident: "The very language used to describe the [TMI] accident revealed the very diverse perceptions
that enter such interpretations. Was it an accident or an incident? A catastrophe or a mishap? A disaster
or an event? A technical failure or a simple mechanical breakdown?" (Nelkin 1981, 135).
"
26
Accident: An event which only requires the response of established organizations - expansion or actions
such as going to extra shifts is not called for. (Quarantelli 1987,25)
Accident: "The evidence. . .suggests that accidents are not the product of divine caprice, nor of a set of
random chance events which are not likely to recur, but that they are incidents, created by people, which
can be analyzed, and that the lessons learned from that analysis, if implemented, will help to prevent
similar events from taking place again." (Toft 1992, 58)
Accident, Technological: "Technological accidents. . .are almost never understood as the way the
world of chance sorts itself out. They provoke outrage rather than acceptance or resignation. They
generate a feeling that the thing ought not have happened, that someone is at fault, that victims deserve
not only compassion and compensation but something akin to what lawyers call punitive damages."
(Erikson, 1989, 143)
Acts of God: Natural disasters or freak accidents. (Birkland 1997,2.)
'When society seems to have formed a consensus that the event was an 'act of God,' such as a natural
disaster or freak accident, our attention turns to what we can do to help the victims. But when the
disaster is the result of human failings - poor design, operator error, 'corporate greed,' or 'government
neglect' - our attention turns to the voluntary acceptance of responsibility for an event or to the more
coercive process of fixing blame. Boards of inquiry are formed, legislatures hold hearings, and reports
are issued, all in hopes of 'learning something from this incident' to ensure that something similar does
not happen again or in the case of 'unavoidable' disasters, in hopes of improving our preparation for and
response to disasters" (Birkland 1997, 2).
Acts of God: A fatalistic "syndrome whereby individuals feel no personal responsibility for hazard
response and wish to avoid expenditure on risk reduction" (Smith 1996, 70).
Alert: Advisory that hazard is approaching but is less imminent than implied by warning message. See
also "warning". (U.N. 1992,3)
Assessment: Survey of a real or potential disaster to estimate the actual or expected damages and to
make recommendations for preparedness, mitigation and relief action. (Reference Center 1998)
Avalanche: Mass of snow and ice falling suddenly down a mountain slope and often taking with it earth,
rocks and rubble of every description. (WMO 1992, 66)
B
Base Flood: A term used in the National Flood Insurance Program to indicate the minimum size flood to
be used by a community as a basis for its floodplain management regulations; presently required by
regulation to be "that flood which has a one-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given
year." Also known as a 100-year flood or one-percent chance flood.
Beaufort Scale: Numerical scale from 0 to 12, indicating wind force.
o - calm
1 - light air
2 - light breeze
3 - gentle breeze
4 - moderate breeze
5 - fresh breeze

6 - strong breeze
7 - strong wind
8 - gale
9 - strong gale
10 - storm
11 - violent storm
12 - hurricane
27
(Reference Center 1998)
Blizzard: Vio~ent winter ~torm, lasting at least 3 hours, which combines below freezing temperatures and
very strong Wind laden with blowing snow that reduces visibility to less than 1 km. (WMO 1992, 86)
c
Calamity: "A massive or extreme catastrophic disaster that extends over time and space." Notes the
Black Death of the 14th century as an example. (Drabek 1996, Session 2, pA)
Catastrophe: "An event in which a society incurs, or is threatened to incur, such losses to persons
and/or property that the entire society is affected and extraordinary resources and skills are required,
some of which must come from other nations.
Catastrophe: ". . .an event that causes $25 million or more in insured property losses and affects a
significant number of property-casualty policyholders and insurers." (Insurance Services Office 2000, 2)
Catastrophe: An event of such impact upon a community that new organizations must be created in
order to deal with the situation. (Quarantelli 1987, 25)
Catastrophe: ". . Jar a given society might be defined as an event leading to 500 deaths or $10 million
in damages. These figures, however, are arbitrary since levels of impact mean different things to
different people in different situations. Furthermore, we cannot ignore the element of scale. It would be a
catastrophe for a small community if every building were totally destroyed by flooding (as occurred in
1993 in Valmeyer, Illinois), but at the global scale, it would be an insignificant event if only 350 houses
were involved. . .Similarly, $10 million in damage to some communities would be devastating. . .,
especially in less wealthy societies, but others would be able to cope relatively easily" (Tobin and Montz
1997,7).
". . .a catastrophe not only disrupts society, but may cause a total breakdown in day-to-day functioning.
One aspect of catastrophes, is that most community functions disappear; there is no immediate
leadership, hospitals may be damaged or destroyed, and the damage may be so great and so extensive
that survivors have nowhere to turn for help (Quarantelli, 1994). In disaster situations, it is not unusual for
survivors to seek help from friends and neighbors, but this cannot happen in catastrophes. In a disaster,
society continues to operate and it is common to see scheduled events continue. . ." Tobin and Montz
1997,31).
Catastrophic Disaster: An event that results in large numbers of deaths and injuries; causes extensive
damage or destruction of facilities that provide and sustain human needs; produces an overwhelming
demand on State and local response resources and mechanisms; causes a severe long-term effect on
general economic activity; and severely affects State, local, and private-sector capabilities to begin and
sustain response activities. Note: the Stafford Act provides no definition for this term. (FEMA 1992, FRP
Appendix B)
CHEMTREC: The Chemical Transportation Emergency Center, 24-hour contact number 1-800-424-9300
in CONUS, 202-483-7616 outside the continental United States. A service, sponsored by the chemical
industry, which provides two stages of assistance to responders dealing with potentially hazardous
materials. First, on receipt of a call providing the name of a chemical judged by the responder to be a
DB_Citizen Corps Framework_PSAC0514_revgTOC
Agenda Item No. 17

Draft Citizen Corps Framework
potentially hazardous material, CHEMTREC provides immediate advice on the nature of the chemical
product and the steps to be taken in handling it. Second, CHEMTREC promptly contacts the shipper of
the material involved for more detailed information and on-scene assistance when feasible. (DOT 1993)
muu.J 1tit1.~

Civil Defense (CD): All activities and measures designed or undertaken for the following reasons: (a) to
minimize the effects upon the civilian population caused by, or which would be caused by, an attach
upon the United States or by a natural disaster; (b) to deal with the immediate emergency conditions
which would be created by any such attack or natural disaster; and (c) to effectuate emergency repairs
to, or the emergency restoration of, vital utilities and facilities destroyed or damaged by any such attack
or natural disaster. (FEMA 1990)
Civil Defense: The system of measures, usually run by a governmental agency, to protect the civilian
population in wartime, to respond to disasters, and to prevent and mitigate the consequences of major
emergencies in peacetime. The term "civil defense" is now used increasingly. (UN 1992, 17)
Civil Disturbances: Group acts of violence and disorders prejudicial to public law and order within the
50 States, District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, U.S. possessions and territories, or any
political subdivision thereof. As more specifically defined in DoD Directive 3025.12 (Military Support to
Civil Authorities), "civil disturbance" includes all domestic conditions requiring the use of Federal Armed
Forces. (Title 32 CFR 185)
Civil Emergency: Any natural or man made disaster or emergency that causes or could cause
substantial harm to the population or infrastructure. This term can include a "major disaster" or
"emergency" as those terms are defined in the Stafford Act, as amended, as well as consequences of an
attack or a national security emergency. Under 42 U.S.C. 5121, the terms "major disaster" and
"emergency" are defined substantially by action of the President in declaring that extant circumstances
and risks justify his implementation of the legal powers provided by those statutes. (Title 32 CFR 185)
Civil Protection: "The phrase 'civil protection' has gradually come into use around the world as a term
that describes activities which protect civil populations against incidents and disasters (Mauro, 1996). .
..Civil protection has gradually and rather haltingly emerged from the preceding philosophy of civil
defense." (Alexander, 2002, 4)
Community Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER): A program developed by the Chemical
Manufacturers Association providing guidance for chemical plant managers to assist them in taking the
initiative in cooperating with local communities to develop integrated (community/industry) hazardous
materials emergency plans. (FEMA 1990)
Comprehensive Emergency Management: "Comprehensive Emergency Management means
integrating all actors, in all phases of emergency activity, for all types of disasters." (NGA 1978, 111)
Comprehensive Emergency Management: "CEM refers to a state's responsibility and unique capability
to manage all types of disasters by coordinating wide-ranging actions of numerous agencies. The
'comprehensive' aspect of CEM includes all four phases of disaster activity: mitigation, preparedness,
response and recovery for all risks -- attack, man-made, and natural -- in a federal-state-Iocal operating
partnership." (NGA 1978, 203)
Comprehensive Emergency Management: An integrated approach to the management of emergency
programs and activities for all four emergency phases (mitigation, preparedness, response, and
recovery), for all types of emergencies and disasters and for all levels of government and the private
sector.
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA): Public Law
96-510, as amended. More popularly known as "Superfund," CERCLA provides authority for Federal and
State governments to respond directly to hazardous substances incidents. (FEMA 1992, Appendix C)

Conflict Hazards: War, acts of terrorism, civil unrest, riots, and revolutions.
Con~e~uen~e: The outcome of an event or situation expressed qualitatively or quantitatively, being a
loss, inJury, disadvantage or gain. (Standards 1995)
29
Consequence Analysis: The estimation of the effect of potential hazardous events. (New South Wales
1989).
Cons~quence Management (COM): Involves measures to alleviate the damage, loss, hardship, or
suff~nng caused by emergencies., It includes measures to restore essential government services, protect
pu~h.c health and safety, and provide emergency relief to affected governments, businesses, and
individuals. (FEMA, Weapons of Mass Destruction-Nuclear Scenario)
Consequence Management: "Relative to terrorism incident operations, measures to protect public
health and safety, restore essential government services, and provide emergency relief to governments,
businesses and individuals affected by the consequences of terrorism." (FEMA Disaster Dictionary 2001,
22; cites Federal Response Plan, "Terrorism Incident Annex.")
Contingency Planning: "Asking about all the 'what if's that might occur in the activities of an
organization and the dangers faced in the external environment." (Lerbinger 1997, 267)
Continuity of Government: All measures that may be taken to ensure the continuity of essential
functions of governments in the event of emergency conditions, including line-of-succession for key
decision-makers.
Crisis: ". . .a decisive or critical moment or turning point when things can take a dramatic turn, normally
for the worse. . ." (Allinson 1993, 93; based upon Webster's New International Dictionary, Unabridged,
2nd ed.)
Crisis: Short period of extreme danger, acute emergency. (D&E Reference Center 1998)
Crisis: "Crises involve events and processes that carry severe threat, uncertainty, an unknown outcome,
and urgency. . .Most crises have trigger points so critical as to leave historical marks on nations, groups,
and individual lives. Crises are historical points of reference, distinguishing between the past and the
present. . ..Crises come in a variety of forms, such as terrorism (New York World Trade Center and
Oklahoma bombings), natural disasters (Hurricanes Hugo and Andrew in Florida, the Holland and
Bangladesh flood disasters), nuclear plant accidents (Three-Mile Island and Chernobyl), riots (Los
Angeles riot and the Paris riot of 1968, or periodic prison riots), business crises, and organizational
crises facing life-or-death situations in a time of rapid environmental change. . ..Crises consist of a 'short
chain of events that destroy or drastically weaken' a condition of equilibrium and the effectiveness of a
system or regime within a period of days, weeks, or hours rather than years. . ..Surprises characterize
the dynamics of crisis situations. . .Some crises are processes of events leading to a level of criticality or
degree of intensity generally out of control. Crises often have past origins, and diagnosing their original
sources can help to understand and manage a particular crisis or lead it to alternative state of condition"
(Farazmand 2001, 3-4)
Crisis: ". . .an event and/or a situation which endangers the established system, the health, life, and
property of its members. . ..the term 'crisis' is treated as being separated from. . .other concepts based
on the intensity and scope of influence. The terms disaster, hazard, accident, etc., refer to only one event
and/or situation, while crisis includes the concepts of natural disasters, man-made/technological
disasters, and social disasters." (Kim and Lee 2001, 502)
Crisis: "Crises act as focusing events, demanding public attention to a policy failure or problem. . .A
great war, a major depression, or an epidemic may set into motion a number of important changes in
public policies." (Nice and Grosse 2001, 55)
DB_Citizen Corps Framework_PSAC0514_revgTOC
Agenda Item No. 17
Page 31 of 63
Draft Citizen Corps Framework
Crisis: ". . .a hard and complicated situation. . .or a turning point-a decisive crucial time/event, or a time
of great danger or trouble with the possibilities of both good and bad outcomes" (Porfiriev 1995, 291-
292).
r! :m:.~~tU 1.. )~j,:"

Crisis: "A collective crisis can be conceptualized as having three interrelated features: (1) a threat of
some kind, involving something that the group values; (2) when the occasion occurs it is relatively
unexpected, being abrupt, at least in social time; and (3) the need to collectively react for otherwise the
effects are seen as likely to be even more negative if nothing is done sooner or later..." (Quarantelli
1998, 257).
Crisis: ". . .a situation that, left unaddressed, will jeopardize the organization's ability to do business."
(Ziaukas 2001,246; citing other sources)
Crisis Management: In the literature that exists so far, the term "crisis management" has been widely
employed. But this terminology is ambiguous. "Crisis management" can be taken to refer either to
managing a crisis after it has arisen-that is, intervening in a crisis situation-or managing in such a way
that a crisis does not arise in the first place. The blanket term "crisis management" is thus a conceptual
blanket that covers a multitude of sins. It is best to avoid the usage of such a label, since the inclusion of
the word "management" in such a label implies that the process so labeled is envisioned as a solution to
the problem of crises in general. This, however, is not really the case. At best, so-called crisis
management addresses only crises that have already arisen and usually only when such crises have
become either imminent or already actualized disasters. (Allinson 1993, 92)
Since "crisis management" is used in the literature to refer for the most part to either how one responds
to an existent crisis or how one might anticipate crises and therefore be able to respond to them. crisis
management most often connotes crisis intervention management whether after the onset of the disaster
or in anticipation of a disaster. In either of these two modes, it is nevertheless a "band-aid" approach
since it either comes into effect after the wound or primarily addresses itself to having a band-aid ready
to cover the wound immediately so that the wound does not bleed overly much. (Allinson 1993, 93)
Crisis Management: Coordination of actions during acute emergency. (D&E Reference Center 1998)
Crisis Management: "Key to crisis management is an accurate and timely diagnosis of the criticality of
the problems and the dynamics of events that ensue. This requires knowledge, skills, courageous
leadership full of risk-taking ability; and vigilance. Successful crisis management also requires
motivation, a sense of urgency, commitment, and creative thinking with a long-term strategic vision. In
managing crises, established organizational norms, culture, rules and procedures become major
obstacles: administrators and bureaucrats tend to protect themselves by playing a bureaucratic game
and hiding behind organizational and legal shelters. A sense of urgency gives way to inertia and
organizational sheltering and self-protection by managers and staff alike. . ..Successful crisis
management requires: (1) sensing the urgency of the matter; (2) thinking creatively and strategically to
solving the crisis; (3) taking bold actions and acting courageously and sincerely; (4) breaking away from
the self-protective organizational culture by taking risks and actions that may produce optimum solutions
in which there would be no significant losers; and (5) maintaining a continuous presence in the rapidly
changing situation with unfolding dramatic events. (Farazmand 2001, 4)
Crisis Management(CRM): Involves measures to resolve the hostile situation, investigate, and prepare
a criminal case for prosecution under federal law. (FEMA 1998)
Crisis Management: "Measures to identify, acquire, and plan the use of resources needed to anticipate,
prevent, and/or resolve a threat or act of terrorism." (FEMA Disaster Dictionary, 2001,26; citing FEMA
FRP, "Terrorism Incident Annex")

D
Damage :As~~ssment: :-he process utilized to determine the magnitude of damage and the unmet
needs of individuals, businesses, the public sector, and the community caused by a disaster or
emergency event.
31
Dama~e Classification: Evaluation and recording of damage to structures, facilities, or objects
according to three (or more) categories:
1. "Severe Damage" - which precludes further use of the structure, facility, or abject for its intended
purpose.
2. "Moderate Damage" - or the degree of damage to principal members, which precludes effective use of
the structure, facility, or object for its intended purpose, unless major repairs are made short of complete
reconstruction.
3. "Light Damage" - such as broken windows, slight damage to roofing and siding, interior partitions
blown down, and cracked walls; the damage is not severe enough to preclude use of the installation for
the purpose for which it was intended. (U.N. 1992, 19)
Declaration: The formal action by the President to make a State eligible for major disaster or emergency
assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, Public Law 93-288, as
amended.
Defense Emergency Response Fund: Established by Public Law 101-165 (1989). That law provides
that, "The Fund shall be available for providing reimbursement to currently applicable appropriations of
the Department of Defense for supplies and services provided in anticipation of requests from other
Federal departments and agencies and from State and local governments for assistance on a
reimbursable basis to respond to natural or man made disasters. The Fund may be used upon a
determination by the Secretary of Defense that immediate action is necessary before a formal request for
assistance on a reimbursable basis is received." The Fund is applicable to military support to civil
authorities (MSCA) under DoD Directive 3025.1 and to foreign disaster assistance under DoD Directive
5100.46. (32 CFR 185)
Disaster: An event that requires resources beyond the capability of a community and requires a multiple
agency response. (Unknown source)
Disaster: The result of a hazard impacting a community. (Unknown source)
Disaster: "For insurance purposes a disaster is defined internationally as an event that causes at least
US$5 million in reimbursable losses." (Alexander, no date, 4)
Disaster: "The distinction between natural hazards or disasters and their man made (or technological)
counterparts is often difficult to sustain. . .we are dealing with a physical event which makes an impact
on human beings and their environment. . .a natural disaster can be defined as some rapid,
instantaneous or profound impact of the natural environment upon the socio-economic system"
(Alexander 1993, 4).
Disaster: "The label 'disaster' rather than 'accident' carries with it not only the implication that. . .an
event. . .was of extraordinary misfortune. . .but also the implication that it could (unlike most accidents)
have been prevented. . .disasters are events which fall within our scope of concern to prevent and in
principle are events which may be prevented, and that we have a consequent obligation to attempt to
prevent them" (Allinson 1993, 168-169).
Disaster: ". . .Allen Barton characterized disaster as a type of collective stress situation in which 'many
members of a social system fail to receive expected conditions of life from the system' (1969: 38). For
Barton, what distinguishes disasters from other types of collective stress, such as war, is that the
sources of disasters are external rather than internaL" (Tierney, Lindell and Perry 2001, 9)

Disaster: "A disaster is an emergency considered severe enough by local government to warrant the
response and dedication of resources beyond the normal scope of a single jurisdiction or branch of local
government." (Carroll 2001,467)
~..%if
32
Disaster: "An event, natural or man-made, sudden or progressive, which impacts with such severity that
the affected community has to respond by taking exceptional measures." (Carter 1991)
Disaster: ". . .a disaster is a singular event that results in widespread losses to people, infrastructure, or
the environment. Disasters originate from many sources, just as hazards do (natural systems, social
systems, technology failures). (Cutter 2001,3)
Disaster: Calamity beyond the coping capacity of the effected population, triggered by natural or
technological hazards or by human action. (D&E Reference Center 1998)
Disaster: "Disasters do not cause effects. The effects are what we call a disaster" (Dombrowsky 1998,
21 ).
Disaster: "An event in which a community undergoes severe danger and incurs, or is threatened to
incur, such losses to persons and/or property that the resources available within the community are
exceeded. In disasters, resources from beyond the local jurisdiction, that is State or Federal level, are
required to meet the disaster demands." (Drabek 1996, 2-4)
Disaster: "I argue that disaster is a social, rather than a 'natural,' happening. Thus, any effort at disaster
reduction involves planning and action by various social units." (Dynes 1993,175) And, ". . .disasters are
qualitatively as well as quantitatively different from accidents and everyday emergencies." (pp. 178-179)
Disaster: "A disaster is a normatively defined occasion in a community when extraordinary efforts are
taken to protect and benefit some social resource whose existence is perceived as threatened" (Dynes
Disaster: An occurrence that has resulted in property damage, deaths, and lor injuries to a community.
(FEMA 1990, Definitions and Terms, Instruction 5000.2)
Disaster: Any event "concentrated in time and space, in which a society of a relatively self-sufficient
subdivision of society, undergoes severe danger and incurs such losses to its members and physical
appurtenances that the social structure is disrupted and the fulfillment of all or some of the essential
functions of the society is prevented" (Fritz 1961, 655)
Disaster: ". . .a situation involving damage and/or loss of lives beyond one million German marks and/or
1,000 person killed." (German insurance industry. Dombrosky's words (1998, 20))
Disaster: ". . .such severe interference of the public order and safety that in intervention of the
centralized, coordinated disaster protection units is necessary." (German law. Dombrowsky 1998, 20
citing Seeck 1980, 1)
Disaster: An "extraordinary situation in which the everyday lives of people are suddenly interrupted and
thus protection, nutrition, clothing, housing, medical and social aid or other vital necessities are
requested." (German Red Cross. Dombrowsky 1998, 20, citing Katastrophen-Vorschrift 1988, 2)
Disaster: ". . .disasters arise from the exposure of vulnerable populations to hostile environments
generated by the failure of complex systems. . .such systems are made vulnerable to failure by the
complex interplay of factors including elements of the political economy environment in which the system
is embedded." (Horlick-Jones and Peters 1991b, 41)

Disa~ter: Events that ". . .release repressed anxiety [and constitute aJ loss of control of social order"
(Horlick-Jones 1995, 305).
33
Disaste~:. "Disaste.rs are non-:outi.ne events in societies or their larger subdivisions (e.g. regions,
communities) that Involve SOCial disruption and physical harm. Among the key defining properties of such
events are (1) length of forewarning, (2) magnitude of impact, (3) scope of impact, and (4) duration of
impact" (Kreps 1998, 34).
Disaster: ". . .earthquakes are quite harmless until you decide to put millions of people and two trillion
dollars in real estate atop scissile fault zones" (Riesner 1993, 501).
Disaster:"A situation created by natural and or man-made events, other than war or internal strife which
demands total integration and co-ordination, by those responsible for administration of the affected
region including: 1. all rescue, relief and life support systems required to meet the needs of the victims,
essential transportation and communication systems. 2. repairs to the infrastructure. 3. post-disaster
rehabilitation and recovery." (Ritchie, et al. 2001, 2)
Disaster: A Condition or situation of significant destruction, disruption and/or distress to a community.
(Salter 1997-98, 27)
Disaster: All events which cause at least 100 human deaths, 100 human injuries, or US $1 million
economic damages. (Sheehan and Hewitt 1969, p. 20)
Disaster:"Disasters are the interface between an extreme physical event and a vulnerable human

1993,93; referring to Webster's New International Dictionary, Unabridged, 2nd edition).
Disaster Agent: "A class or category of phenomena that cause disasters, such as hurricanes,
tornadoes, or explosions. Hurricane Andrew is a specific disaster event which reflected one of the
classes of disaster agents, that is, hurricanes. Andrew is the disaster, hurricane is the disaster agent."
(Drabek 1996, Session 2, p.6)
Disaster, Ecological: Events "that are caused principally by human beings and that initially affect, in a
major way, the earth, its atmosphere, and its flora and fauna." (Drabek and Hoetmer 1991, xxi)

style, biological constitution and other personal or social determinants on the incidence and distribution
of disease as it concerns disasters. (U.N. 1992, 22)
Disaster Management: The entire process of planning and intervention to reduce disasters as well as
the response and recovery measures. It is a neglected element of development planning. (D&E
Reference Center 1998)

Disaster Management: The body of policy and administrative decisions and operational activities which
pertain to the various stages of a disaster at all levels. (UN 1992, 22)
Disaster, Natural: "'Natural' disasters have more to do with the social, political, and economic aspects of
society than they do with the environmental hazards that trigger them. Disasters occur at the interface of
vulnerable people and hazardous environments" (Bolin with Stanford 1998, Preface).
Disaster, Natural:'While human actions generally cannot cause an earthquake in the sense of doing
something to provoke fault movement, they are often critically involved in the disaster that can follow a
seismic event. In that sense then, 'natural' is an inappropriate adjective to describe such disasters
(Hewitt 1997) " (Bolin with Stanford 1998, 4).
Disaster, Natural: Any hurricane, tornado, storm, flood, high water, wind-driven water, tidal wave,
tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, drought, fire, or other
catastrophe in any part of the United States which causes, or which may cause, substantial damage or
injury to civilian property or persons. (Robert T. Stafford Act, 602)
Disaster, Natural:"ln a seeming inversion of what was 'obvious' about natural disasters, a view has
been developed by such geographers as Hewitt that seeks explanations of disaster primarily in the
sociocultural and economic features of the societies that are variously affected by natural forces. Their
focus has been to develop an understanding of the social structures and material practices that made
people more or less vulnerable to environmental hazards. In this approach, the underlying causes of
disaster are to be found not in nature, but in the organization of human societies (Varley 1994 )" (Bolin
with Stanford 1998, 5).
Disaster Preparedness Improvement Grant Program (DPIG): Authorized under Section 201 of the
Stafford Act. Annual matching awards are provided to States to improve or update their disaster

and local governments in expediting the rendering of assistance, emergency services, and the
reconstruction and rehabilitation of devastated areas (PL 93-288), as amended. (FEMA Instruction
5000.2)
Disaster Response: A sum of decisions and actions taken during and after disaster, including
immediate relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. (U.N. 1992,3)
Disaster Risk Management: "Disaster risk management and reduction are about looking beyond
hazards alone to considering prevailing conditions of vulnerability. It is the social, cultural, economic, and
political setting in a country that makes people vulnerable to unfortunate events. The basis of this
understanding is simple: the national character and chosen form of governance can be as much of a
determinant in understanding the risks in a given country, as are the various social, economic and
environmental determinants." (U.N. ISDR 2002,27)
Disaster Risk Reduction: "The systematic development and application of policies, strategies and
practices to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risks throughout a society, to avoid (prevention) or to
limit (mitigation and preparedness) adverse impact of hazards, within the broad context of sustainable
development." (U.N. ISDR 2002, 25)
Disaster, Technological: ". . .technological disasters - meaning everything that can go wrong when
systems fail, humans err, designs prove faulty, engines misfire, and so on." (Erikson, 1989, 141)

Disaster, Technologica~: "Miller and Fowlkes (1984) have argued that the term 'technological disaster'
render~ suc~ e~ent~ too I~perso~al in origin. They believe that such 'accidents' are due mainly to the
excessive pnonty given to mdustnal profits and advocate the term 'man-made disaster' to indicate
corporate responsibility" (Smith 1997, 14).

Do~estic Em.ergency: :'Any natural disaster or other emergency that does not seriously endanger
national ~ecunty, but which IS of such a catastrophic nature that it cannot be managed effectively without
substantial Federal presence, or which arises within spheres of activity in which there is an established
Federal role." (FEMA Disaster Dictionary 2001, 36; cites Domestic Emergencies Handbook, US Army
Forces Command, March 15, 1999).
Domestic Emergency Support Team (DEST): "Relative to terrorism incident operations, an
organization formed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to provide expert advice and assistance
to the FBI On-Scene Commander (OS C) related to the capabilities of the DEST agencies and to
coordinate follow-on response assets. When deployed, the DEST merges into the existing Joint
Operations Center (JOG) structure." (FEMA Disaster Dictionary 2001,36; cites FEMA FRP, "Terrorism

Emergency: "An unexpected event which places life and/or property in danger and requires an
immediate response through the use of routine community resources and procedures. Examples would
be a multi-automobile wreck, especially involving injury or death, and a fire caused by lightning strike
which spreads to other buildings." Emergencies can be handled with local resources. (Drabek 1996,
Session 2, p. 3)
Emergency: Any hurricane, tornado, storm, flood, highwater, wind-driven water, tidal wave, tsunami,
earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, drought, fire, explosion, nuclear accident,
or other natural or manmade catastrophe in any part of the United States. Any occasion or instance for
which, in the determination of the President, Federal assistance is needed to supplement State and local
efforts and capabilities to save lives and to protect property and public health and safety or to lessen the
threat of a catastrophe in any part of the United States. (FEMA 1990)
Emergency: "Any occasion or instance for which, in the determination of the President, Federal
assistance is needed to supplement State and local efforts to save lives and to protect property and
public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in any part of the United States.
The Governor of a State, or the Acting Governor in his/her absence, may request that the President
declare an emergency when an incident occurs or threatens to occur in a State which would not qualify
under the definition of a major disaster. Assistance authorized by an emergency declaration is limited to
immediate and short-term assistance, and may not exceed $5 million, except when authorized by the
FEMA Associate Director for Response and Recovery under certain conditions." (FEMA Disaster
Dictionary 2001, 39; cites Robert T Stafford Act 102; 44 CFR 206.2, 206.35; 206.63, 206.66, and 503)

involve communities (as a disaster does) or individuals (which a disaster does not). . ." (Porfiriev 1995,
291).
Emergency: An event in which established emergency organizations (such as the American Red Cross
or utilities) need to expand their activities. (Quarantelli 1987,25.)
Emergency: An extraordinary situation in which people are unable to meet their basic survival needs, or
there are serious and immediate threats to human life and well being. An emergency situation may arise
as a result of a disaster, a cumulative process of neglect or environmental degradation, or when a
disaster threatens and emergency measures have to be taken to prevent or at least limit the effects of
the eventual impact. (Simeon Institute 1998)
Emergency: ". . .a sudden critical juncture demanding immediate remedial action." (Terry 2001,327)
Emergency: A sudden and usually unforeseen event that calls for immediate measures to minimize its
adverse consequences. (U.N. 1992,26)
Emergency Assistance: Assistance which may be made available under an emergency declaration. In
general, Federal support to State and local efforts to save lives, protect property and public health and
safety, and lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe. Federal emergency assistance may take the form
of coordinating all disaster relief assistance (including voluntary assistance) provided by Federal
agencies, private organizations, and State and local governments. Or , the Federal government may
provide technical and advisory assistance to affected State and local governments for: the performance
of essential community services; issuance of warnings of risks or hazards; public health and safety
information, including dissemination of such information; provision of health and safety measures;
management, control, and reduction of immediate threats to public health and safety; debris removal;
temporary housing; and distribution of medicine, food, and other consumable supplies. (Stafford Act)
Emergency Management: The entire process of planning and intervention for rescue and relief to
reduce impact of emergencies as well as the response and recovery measures, to mitigate the significant
social, economic and environmental consequences to communities and ultimately to the country, usually
through an emergency operation center, EOC. (Disaster and Emergency Reference Center 1998)
Emergency Management: The process by which the uncertainties that exist in potentially hazardous
situations can be minimized and public safety maximized. The goal is to limit the costs of emergencies or
disasters through the implementation of a series of strategies and tactics reflecting the full life cycle of
disaster, Le., preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. (Drabek1997)
Emergency Management:"Emergency management is the discipline and profession of applying
science, technology, planning, and management to deal with extreme events that can injure or kill large
numbers of people, do extensive damage to property, and disrupt community life." (Drabek and Hoetmer
1991, xvii).
Emergency Management: Organized analysis, planning, decision-making, and assignment of available
resources to mitigate (lessen the effect of or prevent) prepare for, respond to, and recover from the
effects of all hazards. The goal of emergency management is to save lives, prevent injuries, and protect
property and the environment if an emergency occurs. (FEMA 1995, 1-6).
Emergency Management:"The process through which America prepares for emergencies and
disasters, responds to them, recovers from them, rebuilds, and mitigates their future effects." (FEMA

Emergency Management: A range of measures to manage risks to communities and the environment.
It involves the development and maintenance of arrangements to prevent the effect of, prepare for,
respond to or recover from events causing significant community disruption or environmental damage.
(Salter 1997-98, 28)
Emergency Management: The organization and management of resources for dealing with all aspects
of emergencies. Emergency management involves the plans, structures and arrangements which are
established to bring together the normal endeavors of government, voluntary and private agencies in a
comprehensive and coordinated way to deal with the whole spectrum of emergency needs including
prevention, response and recovery. (Victorian Department of Justice 1997)
Emergency Manager: The person who has the day-to-day responsibility for emergency management
programs and activities. The role is one of coordinating all aspects of a jurisdiction's mitigation,
preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities.
(The local emergency management position is referred to with different titles across the country, such as
civil defense coordinator or director, civil preparedness coordinator or director, disaster services director,
and emergency services director.)
Emergency Manager: "Emergency managers are professionals who practice the discipline of
emergency management by applying science, technology, planning and management techniques to
coordinate the activities of a wide array of agencies and organizations dedicated to preventing and
responding to extreme events that threaten, disrupt, or destroy lives or property." (Drabek 2002, Student
Handout 1-2)
Emergency Operations Plan (EOP): An all-hazards document that specifies actions to be taken in the
event of an emergency or disaster event; identifies authorities, relationships, and the actions to be taken
by whom, what, when, and where, based on predetermined assumptions, objectives, and existing
capabilities.
Emergency Preparedness: Activities and measures designed or undertaken to prepare for or minimize
the effects of a hazard upon the civilian population, to deal with the immediate emergency conditions
which would be created by the hazard, and to effectuate emergency repairs to, or the emergency
restoration of, vital utilities and facilities destroyed or damaged by the hazard. (Stafford Act)
Emergency Public Information: Information which is disseminated primarily in anticipation of an
emergency or at the actual time of an emergency and in addition to providing information as such,
frequently directs actions, instructs, and transmits direct orders. (Simeon Institute 1998)
Emergency Risk Management: "Emergency risk management is a 'systematic process that produces a
range of measures that contribute to the well-being of communities and the environment'. It includes:
context definition; risk identification; risk analysis; risk evaluation; risk treatment; monitoring and
reviewing; and, communicating and consulting." (Emergency Management Australia 2000, 1)
Emergency Support Services: The departments of local government that have the capability to
respond to emergencies 24 hours a day. They typically include law enforcement, fire, rescue, and public
works. They may also be referred to as emergency response personnel or emergency operating forces.
Exposure: "Exposure describes the number of people, and the value of structures and activities that will
experience. . .hazards and may be adversely impacted by them." (Darlington and Lambert 2001, 135)

Exposure: "People, property, systems, or functions at risk of loss exposed to hazards." (Multihazard
Mitigation Council, 2002, 30)
~:~~
38
Extreme Events: An extreme event in the context of the natural world is an act of nature, "such as a
lightning stroke or a flood [that] may be a productive resource and a hazard at the same time. Lightning
may kill an animal but also start a fire essential to the preservation of a forest ecosystem. A flood may
destroy a farmstead while fertilizing the fields" (Burton et al. 1993,34).
F
Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP): The plan used by Federal agencies to
respond to a radiological emergency, with or without a Stafford Act declaration. Without a Stafford Act
declaration, Federal agencies respond to radiological emergencies using the FRERP, each agency in
accordance with existing statutory authorities and funding resources. The Lead Federal Agency has
responsibility for coordination of the overall Federal response to the emergency. FEMA is responsible for
coordinating non-radiological support using the structure of the Federal Response Plan. When a major
disaster or emergency is declared under the Stafford Act and an associated radiological emergency
exists, the functions and responsibilities of the FRERP remain the same. The Lead Federal Agency
coordinates the management of the radiological response with the Federal Coordinating Officer.
Although the direction of the radiological response remains the same with the Lead Federal Agency, the
FCO has the overall responsibility for coordination of Federal assistance in support of State and local
governments using the Federal Response Plan. (FRERP)
Federal Response Plan (FRP): 1) The plan designed to address the consequences of any disaster or
emergency situation in which there is a need for Federal assistance under the authorities of the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. 2) The FRP is the
Federal government's plan of action for assisting affected States and local jurisdictions in the event of a
major disaster or emergency. As the implementing document for the Stafford Act, the FRP organizes the
Federal response by grouping potential response requirements into 12 functional categories, called
Emergency Support Functions. The FRP was completed in April 1992, and 29 Federal departments and
agencies are signatories to the plan. (FRERP)
Five-Hundred Year Floodplain (or 0.2 percent chance floodplain): That area which includes the base
floodplain which is subject to inundation from a flood having a 0.2 percent chance of being equalled or
exceeded in any given year.
Flash Flood: A flood that crests in a short period of time and is often characterized by high velocity flow-
often the result of heavy rainfall in a localized area.
Forecast: Statement or statistical estimate of the occurrence of a future event. This term is used with
different meanings in different disciplines, as well as "prediction". (U.N. 1992,4)
The Four Phases: Mitigation, Preparedness, Response and Recovery.
Fujita-Pearson Scale (FPP Scale): A 3-digit scale for tornadoes devised by Fujita (F scale) and
Pearson (PP scale) to indicate the tornado intensity (0-5), path length (0-5), and path width (0-7) (WMO
1992).
Fujita Tornado Scale: A scale for expressing the relative intensity of tornadoes, consisting of six levels
corresponding to increasing levels of damage - light, moderate, considerable, severe, devastating,
incredible. (Notification Manual)

Hazard: "A Hazard is a natural, technological or social phenomenon that poses a threat to people and
their surroundings (in terms of both the natural and the built environment)." (Alexander, No Date, 1)
Hazard: Some, including not just a few emergency managers, view hazards such as earthquakes as
"technical problems suitable for a combination of engineering, planning, and specialized managerial
solutions, and people, if they are mentioned at all, are seen largely as impediments to carrying out the
technocratic solutions, because they fail to see the risks they face (e.g. Mileti and Fitzpatrick 1993). .
..However, by concentrating on the physical risks, projected extreme events, and worst case scenarios,
much is ignored" (Bolin with Stanford 1998,20).
Hazard:"is a source of risk and refers to a substance or action that can cause harm."(Cohrssen &
Covello 1989)
Hazard:"Hazard refers to an extreme natural event that poses risks to human settlements"
(Deyle, French, Olshansky, and Paterson 1998, 121).
Hazard: Dangerous natural or man made phenomenon that expose a vulnerable location to disastrous
events. Vulnerability reduction aims at neutralizing the dangers posed by the hazard. (D&E Reference
Center 1998)
Hazard:"Hazard means an event or physical condition that has the potential to cause fatalities, injuries,
property damage, infrastructure damage, agricultural loss, damage to the environment, interruption of
business, or other types of harm or loss" (FEMA 1997, xxi).
Hazard:"Relevant to emergency preparedness, a hazard is an emergency or disaster resulting from a
natural disaster, or an accidental or man-caused event." (FEMA Disaster Dictionary 2001, 58, citing
Robert T. Stafford Act, 602)
Hazard: Hazards "are threats to humans and what they value: life, well-being, material goods, and
environment." (Harriss et ai, 1978)
Hazard: Hazard is the probability that in a given period in a given area, an extreme potentially damaging
natural phenomena occurs that induces air, earth or water movements, which affect a given zone. The
magnitude of the phenomenon, the probability of its occurrence and the extent of its magnitude can vary
and, in some cases, be determined. (Maskrey 1989, 1)
Hazard:"A dangerous event or circumstance that has the potential to lead to an emergency or disaster.
Any physical phenomenon that has the potential to produce harm or other undesirable consequences to
some person or thing." (May, p. 5)
Hazard:"Hazard. . .reflects a potential threat to humans as well as the impact of an event on society and
the environment. . ..hazards are. . .in part socially constructed by people's perceptions and their
experiences. Moreover, people contribute to, exacerbate, and modify hazards. Thus, hazards can vary
by culture, gender, race, socioeconomic status, and political structure as well" (Mitchell and Cutter 1997,
9-10).
Hazard:"A hazard can be defined as: 'some aspect of the physical environment that threatens the well-
being on individuals and their society.'" (Nigg 1996,4)

Hazard:"ln disaster management, a hazard refers to the potential for a disaster." (Pearce 2000, Chapter
Hazard: Involves identifying all of the hazards that potentially threaten a jurisdiction and analyzing them
in the context of the jurisdiction to determine the degree of threat that is posed by each. (FEMA 1997)
40
Hazard:"A hazards analysis consists of two parts. The first involves knowledge of the kinds of hazards
that might threaten the community. This knowledge includes the probability of the event occurring at
varying levels of intensity and at varying locations throughout the community. Determinations of
probability, intensity, and location can be made on the basis of historical evidence, empirical research, or
community perception." (McLoughlin 1985, 168)
Hazard Analysis: "The identification and evaluation of all hazards that potentially threaten a jurisdiction
to determine the degree of threat that is posed by each." (Michigan OEM 1998, 6)
Hazard Analysis: That part of the overall planning process which identifies and describes hazards and
their effects upon the community. (NDO 1992)
Hazard Assessment: Identification of hazards in given location. (D&E Reference Center 1998)
Hazard Assessment: (Sometimes Hazard Analysis/Evaluation) The process of estimating, for defined
areas, the probabilities of the occurrence of potentially-damaging phenomenon of given magnitudes
within a specified period of time. Hazard assessment involves analysis of formal and informal historical
records, and skilled interpretation of existing topographical graphical, geological geomorphological,
hydrological, and land-use maps. (Simeon Institute 1998)
Hazard, Environmental: ". . .the threat potential posed to man or nature by events originating in, or
transmitted by, the natural or built environment" (Kates 1978,14).
Keith Smith's (1997, 14-15) commentary on this definition:
"This definition can include both long-term environmental deterioration (acidification of soils, build-up of
atmospheric carbon dioxide) and all the social hazards, both involuntary and communal (crime, terrorism,
warfare), as well as voluntary and personal hazards (drug abuse, mountain climbing). These hazards
have such different origins and impacts that a more focused definition is required."
Hazard, Environmental: "events which directly threaten human life and property by means of acute
physical or chemical trauma. . .Any manageable definition of environmental hazards will be both arbitrary
and contentious. But, despite their diverse sources, most disasters have a number of common features:
1. The origin of the damaging process or event is clear and produces characteristic threats to human life
or well-being, e.g. a flood causes death by drowning.
2. The warning time is normally short, Le. the hazards are often known as rapid-onset events. This
means that they can be unexpected even though they occur within a known hazard zone, such as the
floodplain of a small river basin.
3. Most of the direct losses, whether to life or property, are suffered fairly shortly after the event, Le.,
within days or weeks.
4. The exposure to hazard, or assumed risk, is largely involuntary, normally due to the location of people
in a hazardous area, e.g. the unplanned expansion of some Third World cities onto unstable hillslopes.
5. The resulting disaster occurs with an intensity that justifies an emergency response, Le. the provision
of specialist aid to the victims. The scale of response can vary from local to international" (Smith 1996,
15-16).
Hazard, Environmental: ". . .extreme geophysical events, biological processes and major technological
accidents, characterized by concentrated releases of energy or materials, which pose a largely

Hazard, Global: ". . .changes to regional ecosystems which in turn effect global systems, are termed
'global hazards'. Climate change, soil degradation, and deforestation are examples of global hazards that
are directly and indirectly related to the manipulation of technology. Global hazards can be distinguished
from the more traditional ones because of their diffused or dispersed effects at the planetary scale-they
threaten the long-term survival of t he planet. . ..They are not rare, discrete events but develop over a
long period of time. Global hazards are cumulative in nature and are the end result of centuries or
decades of human manipulation of technology to control nature and exploit its resources" (Cutter 1993,
5).
Hazard Identification: A structured approach for identifying those hazards judged by local officials to
pose a significant threat to their jurisdiction.
Hazard Identification:. . .defines the magnitudes (intensities) and associated probabilities (likelihoods)
of natural hazard that may pose threats to human interests in specific geographic areas. (Deyle, French,
Olshansky and Patterson 1998, 121).
Hazard Identification:". . .the process of defining and describing a hazard, including its physical
characteristics, magnitude and severity, probability and frequency, causative factors, and locations/areas
affected" (FEMA 1997, Multi Hazard. . .Assessment, xxi).
Hazard Identification: Hazard Identification locates hazardous areas, often estimates the probability of
hazardous events of various magnitudes, and sometimes assesses the separate characteristics of the
hazards (e.g., for hurricanes: wind, high water, and wave action). (Godschalk, Kaiser, and Berke, 1998,
98)
Hazard Identification: The process of recognizing that a hazard exists and defining its characteristics
(Standards 1995).
Hazard Management: ". . .utilizes individual and collective strategies to reduce and mitigate the impacts
of hazards on people and places" (Cutter 1993, 2).
Hazard Mitigation: Any measure that will reduce the potential for damage from a disaster event.
Hazard Mitigation: Measures taken in advance of a disaster aimed at decreasing or eliminating its
impact on society and environment (U.N. 1992, 41).
Hazard, Natural: ". . .a naturally occurring or man-made geologic condition of phenomenon that
presents a risk or is a potential danger to life or property" (American Geological Institute 1984). (Quoted
in Tobin and Montz 1997, 9).
Hazard, Natural:''The concept of natural hazards is somewhat paradoxical; the elements of a natural
geophysical event (e.g., wind and storm surge of a hurricane) are hazardous only when they prove
detrimental to human activity systems" (Baker 1976, 1).
Hazard, Natural:'While some hazards, such as earthquakes and volcanoes, are the product of natural
processes unmodified by human interventions, other ostensibly natural hazards are less and less
'natural'. The impacts of human activities on global climatic systems, with attendant changes in rainfall
patters, storm frequency, and storm severity suggest that meteorological hazards themselves could be
influenced by (unintended) human factors (e.g. Southwick 1996 ; Flavin 1997 ). Flavin (1997) cites
evidence that both the frequency and severity of meteorological hazards may be increasing as a result of
human-induced climatic change. Similarly human modifications of riverine systems, from deforesting and

Hazard, Natural:"ln reality, the environment is neither benign nor hostile. In is 'neutral' and it is only
human location, actions and perceptions which identify resources and hazards within the range of natural
events (Burton et al. 1993)" (Smith 1996, 12).
Hazard, Natural:". . .those elements of the physical environment harmful to man and caused by forces
extraneous to him" (Smith 1996,9: quoting I. Burton and R.W. Kates. "The Perception of Natural
Hazards in Resource Management." Natural Resources Journal, Vo1.3, 1964, pp. 412-441).
Hazard, Natural:"Natural hazards exist with or without the presence of human populations and
development" (Schwab, et al. 1998, 12).
Hazard, Natural:"A natural hazard represents the potential interaction between humans and extreme
natural events. . .It represents the potential or likelihood of an event (it is not the event itself)" (Tobin &
Montz 1997, 5).
"Natural hazards constitute a complex web of physical and environmental factors interacting with the
social, economic, and political realities of society" (Tobin and Montz 1997, 11).
Hazard, Natural: Naturally caused events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods,
volcanoes and forest fires. (Unknown source)
Hazard, Natural:"First, the misunderstanding of 'natural hazards' as events unrelated to or separate
from human activity and human choice is no longer credible. The fundamental involvement of human
organizations, cultural and institutional context, and political-economic structures cannot be overlooked
or wished away. The creation, distribution, and mitigation of vulnerability to hazards of all kinds is a
social interaction with either other social processes or geophysical processes or both. There is no purely
'natural' hazard in the full sense of a risk or danger for which affected persons have no defence or
remedy." (Weiner 2001, 1)
Hazard Probability: The estimated likelihood that a hazard will occur in a particular area.
Hazard Risk: The probability of experiencing disaster damage.
Hazard, Technological: Typically man-related hazards such as nuclear power plant accidents, industrial
plant explosions, aircraft crashes, dam breaks, mine cave-ins, pipeline explosions and hazardous
material accidents. (Unknown source)
Hazard, Technological: A range of hazards emanating from the manufacture, transportation, and use of
such substances as radioactive materials, chemicals, explosives, flammables, agricultural pesticides,
herbicides, and disease agents; oil spills on land, coastal waters, or inland water systems; and debris
from space. (FEMA 1992, FRP Appendix B)
Hazard, Technological: Technological hazards are best seen as accidental failures of design or
management affecting large-scale structures, transport systems or industrial activities which present life-
threatening risks to the local community. . ..the failure "trigger" which provokes a technological disaster is
likely to arise for one of the following reasons: (1) defective design; (2) inadequate management; (3)
sabotage OJ terrorism (Smith 1996, 316).
Hazard Vulnerability: The susceptibility of life, property, or the environment to damage if a hazard
occurs.

Hazardous Material (HAZMA T): Any material which is explosive, flammable, poisonous, corrosive,
reactive, or radioactive (or any combination), and requires special care in handling because of the
hazards posed to public health, safety, and/or the environment. (Firescope 1994)
.~
43
Heat Wave: Marked warming of the air, or the invasion of very warm air, over a large area; it usually
lasts from a few days to a few weeks. (WMO 1992, 294)
Human-Made Disasters: are disasters or emergency situations where the principal, direct cause(s) are
identifiable human actions, deliberate or otherwise. Apart from "technological" and "ecological" disasters,
this mainly involves situations in which civilian populations suffer casualties, losses of property, basic
services and means of livelihood as a result of war or civil strife, for example: Human-made
disasters/emergencies can be of the rapid or slow onset types, and in the case of internal conflict, can
lead to "complex emergencies" as well. Human-made disaster acknowledges that all disasters are
caused by humans because they have chosen, for whatever reason, to be where natural phenomena
occurs that result in adverse impacts of people. This mainly involves situations in which civilian
populations suffer casualties, losses of property, basic services and means of livelihood as a result of
war, civil strife, or other conflict. (Simeon Institute)
Hydrology: Science that deals with the waters above and below the land surfaces of the Earth, their
occurrence, circulation and distribution, both in time and space, their biological, chemical and physical
properties, their reaction with their environment, including their relation to living beings. (WMO 1992,
306)
I
Incident: An event, accidentally or deliberately caused, which requires a response from one or more of
the statutory emergency response agencies. (Australian Fire Authorities Glossary 1996)
Incident: "Any condition that meets the definition of major disaster or emergency which causes damage
or hardship that may result in a Presidential declaration of a major disaster or an emergency." (FEMA
Disaster Dictionary 2001, 62-63, citing Title 44 CFR 206.32)
Incident: "Under the ICS concept, an incident is an occurrence, either human-caused or by natural
phenomena, that requires action by emergency service personnel to prevent or minimize loss of life or
damage to property and/or natural resources." (FEMA Disaster Dictionary 2001,62-63, citing National
Wildfire Coordinating Group, Incident Command System, National Training Curriculum, ICS Glossary
(PMS 202, NFES #2432), October 1994)
Incident: A minor situation. (Oxford Canadian Dictionary, 1998)
Incident Command System (ICS): The combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and
communications operating within a common organizational structure with responsibility for management
of assigned resources to effectively direct and control the response to an incident. Intended to expand as
the situation requires greater resources without requiring new, reorganized, command structures.
Incident Command System (ICS): A standardized on-scene emergency management concept
speCifically designed to allow it's users to adopt an integrated organizational structure equal to the
complexity and demands of single or multiple incidents, without being hindered by jurisdictional
boundaries. (NWCG 1994)
Incident Commander (IC): ICS term for the person, usually from the local jurisdiction, who is
responsible for overall management of an incident. On most incidents, the command activity is carried
out by a single IC. The IC may be assisted by a deputy from the same agency or from an assisting
agency. (FEMA 1993)

Individual and Family Grant (IFG) Program: A program through which the Federal government makes
a grant to a State for the purpose of making grants to individuals and families adversely affected by a
major disaster. Individual and family grants are intended to meet disaster-related necessary expenses or
serous needs in those cases where such individuals or families are unable to meet their expenses or
needs through assistance under other provisions of the Stafford Act or through other means. (Stafford
A~ .
--'~Tr1fil:1U.Jij
44
Individual Assistance: Supplementary Federal assistance provided pursuant to a Presidential
Declaration of emergency or major disaster under the Stafford Act to individuals and families adversely
affected. Such assistance may be provided directly by the Federal Government or through State or local
governments or disaster relief organizations.
Integrated Emergency Management System (IEMS): A strategy for implementing emergency
management activities which builds upon those functions common to preparedness for any type of
occurrence and provides for special requirements of individual emergency situations.
Intensity: . . .refers to the damage-generating attributes of a hazard. For example, water depth and
velocity are commonly used measures of the intensity of a flood. For hurricanes, intensity typically is
characterized with the SaffirlSimpson scale, which is based on wind velocity and storm surge depths. .
.The absolute size of an earthquake is given by its Richter magnitude (and other similar magnitude
scales), but its effects in specific locations are described by the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) Scale. .
.Earthquake intensity is also ascertained by physical measures such as peak ground acceleration
(expressed as a decimal fraction of the force of gravity, e.g., 0.4 g), peak velocity, or spectral response,
which characterizes the frequency of the energy content of the seismic wave. (Deyle, French, Olshansky,
and Paterson 1998, 124.)
L
La Nina: The opposite of an EI Nino event, during which waters in the west Pacific are warmer than
normal, trade winds or Walker circulation is stronger and, consequently, rainfalls heavier in Southeast
Asia. (Bryant 1991)
Lightning: Luminous manifestation accompanying a sudden electrical discharge which takes place from
or inside a cloud or, less often, from high structures on the ground or from mountains. (WMO 1992, 358)
M
Major Disaster: Any natural catastrophe (including any hurricane, tornado, storm, high water, wind-
driven water, tidal wave, tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, mudslide, snowstorm, or
drought) or, regardless of cause, any fire, flood, or explosion, in any part of the United States, which, in
the determination of the President, causes damage of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant major
disaster assistance under the Stafford Act to supplement the efforts and available resources of States,
local governments, and disaster relief organizations in alleviating the damage, loss, hardship, or suffering
caused thereby. (Robert T. Stafford Act 102; 44 CFR 206.2 and 206.36)
Management: Management consists of decision-making activities undertaken by one or more individuals
to direct and coordinate the activities of other people in order to achieve results that could not be
accomplished by anyone person acting alone. Effective management focuses on group effort, various
forms of coordination, and the manner of making decisions. Management is required whenever two or
more persons combine their efforts and resources to accomplish a goal that cannot be accomplished by
acting alone. Coordination is necessary when the actions of group participants constitute parts of a total
task. If one person acts alone to accomplish a task, no coordination may be required; but when that
person delegates a part of the task to others, the individual efforts must be coordinated. (Unknown

Mass Emergency: "An unexpected or undesirable event which requires the resources from most of all
municipal departments and limited assistance from outside agencies may be needed." (Drabek 1996,
Session 2, p. 3)
45
Military Support to Civil Authorities (MSCA): Those activities and measures taken by Department of
Defense components to foster mutual assistance and support between DoD and any civil government
agency in planning or preparedness for, or in the application of resources for response to, the
consequences of civil emergencies or attacks, including national security emergencies. MSCA is
described in DoD Directive 3025.1. The Secretary of the Army is designated as the DoD executive agent
for MSCA. (Title 32 CFR 185)
Mitigate: To lessen in force or intensity. This definition does not preclude "Lessening to Zero" when
mitigation or to mitigate are used in relation to hazards that could cause or contribute to a peacetime civil
emergency. (FEMA 1990)
Mitigation: ". . .mitigation is the social attempt to reduce the occurrence of a disaster, to reduce the
vulnerability of certain populations, and to more equitably distribute the costs within the society." (Dynes
1993, 179)
Mitigation: Those activities designed to alleviate the effects of a major disaster or emergency or long-
term activities to minimize the potentially adverse effects of future disaster in affected areas. (FEMA
1990)
Mitigation: ". . .sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from
hazards and their effects. Mitigation distinguishes actions that have a long-term impact from those that
are more closely associated with preparedness for, immediate response to, and short-term recovery from
a specific event" (FEMA 1997, Multi Hazard. . ., xxii).
Mitigation:"Any action taken to eliminate or reduce the long-term risk to human life and property from
natural hazards. Mitigation actions are accomplished by:
. Acting on the hazard. Seeding hurricanes or triggering avalanches may eliminate a hazard before a
disaster occurs.
. Redirecting the hazard. A seawall or dune restoration program helps keep water away from people by
redirecting the impact areas away from vulnerable locations.
. Interacting with the hazard. Seismic safety provisions incorporated into building codes result in
structures that are more able to withstand impacts and earthquakes.
, Avoiding the hazard. River corridor projects create multiple beneficial uses of the floodplain while
relocating structures to less vulnerable locations," (FEMA IS-513, 1999, I-50)
Mitigation: In its simplest sense, mitigation is risk management. It is a term that we at FEMA use to
describe actions that can be taken at the individual, local, State and Federal levels to reduce the overall
risk from natural disasters. It is getting a handle on the costs of disasters in our society, including not
only moneys, but also suffering and economic disruptions. (Krimm 1998)
Mitigation:"Activities that reduce the degree of long-term risk to human life and property from natural
and man-made hazards; e.g., building codes, disaster insurance, land-use management, risk mapping,
safety codes, and tax incentives and disincentives," (McLoughlin 1985, 166)
"Mitigation consists of planned and orderly efforts to prevent hazards that are preventable and lessen the
impact of those that are not. Mitigation activities can act in three ways to prevent or reduce effects of
potential hazards. First, they can act on the hazard to eliminate it or to reduce the frequency and

National Disaster Medical System (NOMS): A federally coordinated initiative to augment the nation's
emergency medical response capability by providing medical assets to be used during major disasters or
emergencies. NDMS has three major components: Disaster Medical Assistance Teams and Clearing-
Staging Units to provide triage, patient stabilization, and austere medical services at a disaster site; an
evacuation capability for movement of patients from a disaster area to locations where definitive medical
care can be provided; and a voluntary hospital network to provide definitive medical care. NDMS is
administered by the Department of Health and Human Services/U.S. Public Health Service, in
cooperation with the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, FEMA, State and local
governments, and the private sector. (Facts on the NDMS)

arises. Preparedness involves planning, training, exercising, procuring and maintaining equipment, and
designating facilities for shelters and other emergency purposes. (Michigan DEM, 1998,7)
Preparedness:"Preparedness represents actions that are undertaken to reduce the negative
consequences of events where there is insufficient human control to institute mitigation measures."

Preparedness: involves the development and regular testing of warning systems (linked to forecasting
systems) and plans for evacuation or other measures to be taken during a disaster alert period to
minimize potential loss of life and physical damage; the education and training of officials and the
population at risk; the establishment of policies, standards, organizational arrangements and operational
plans to be applied following a disaster impact; the securing of resources (possibly including the
stockpiling of supplies and the earmarking of funds); and the training of intervention teams. It must be
supported by enabling legislation. (Simeon Institute 1998)
Preparedness: Activities designed to minimize loss of life and damage, to organize the temporary
removal of people and property from a threatened location and facilitate timely and effective rescue,
relief and rehabilitation. See also "prevention." (U.N. 1992,4)

Relief: Assistance and/or intervention during or after disaster to meet the life preservation and basic
subsistence needs. It can be of emergency or protracted duration. (U.N. 1992, 5)
Resilience: The capacity to recover successfully from loss and damage. The central features of

Risk: A measure of the probability of damage to life, property, and/or the environment, which could occur
if a hazard manifests itself, including the anticipated severity of consequences to people. (Unknown
source)
Risk: "Risk is the product of hazard (H) and vulnerability (V) as they affect a series of elements (E)
comprising the population, properties, economic activities, public services, and so on, under the threat of
disaster in a given area. . ..Risk is estimated by combining the probability of events and the
consequences (usually conceptualized as losses) that would arise if the events take place." (Alexander,
No Date, 1)
Risk:"Risk is nothing more than the consequences of hazard." (Bezek 2002)
Risk:". . .risk is when you know the possible range of things that may happen following a choice;
uncertainty is when you don't. . ..Risk in its general form is when it is possible, at least in principle, to
estimate the likelihood that an event (or set of events) will occur; the specific forms of those estimates
are the probabilities of adverse consequences." (Clarke 1999, 11)
Risk: The possibility of suffering harm from a hazard. (Cohrssen and Covello 1989, 7)
Risk:". . .the measure of likelihood of occurrence of the hazard" (Cutter 1993, 2).
Risk:"Risk is the probability of an event occurring, or the likelihood of a hazard happening
(Presidential/Congressional Commission on Risk Assessment and Risk Management 1997). Risk
emphasizes the estimation and quantification of probability in order to determine appropriate levels of
safety or the acceptability of a technology or course of action. Risk is a component of hazard." (Cutter
2001, 3)
Risk: The probability that a hazardous event will occur and the expected loss of lives and goods due to
vulnerability to prevailing hazards. (D&E Reference Center 1998)

Risk: The potential for realization of unwanted, adverse consequences to human life, health, property, or
the environment; estimation of risk is usually based on the expected result of the conditional probability
of the event occurring times the consequence of the event given that it has occurred. (Gratt 1987, 244)
Risk: Risk is an expression or possible loss over a specific period of time or number of operational
cycles. It may be indicated by the probability of an accident times the damage in dollars, lives, or
operating units. (Hammer 1972)
Risk:"Risk refers to the probability that death, injury, illness, property damage, and other undesirable
consequences will stem from a hazard" (Lerbinger 1997, 267).
Risk:"There are three components of risk - the magnitude of loss, the chance of loss, and the exposure
of loss." (MacCrimmon and Wehrung 1986, 10)
"The main definition of the verb 'risk' in the Oxford English Dictionary, is 'to expose to the chance of
injury or loss.' . . .First, it is necessary that there be a potential loss of some amount (we will use 'loss' as
a general expression to include 'injury'). Second, there must be a chance of loss. A sure loss is not a
risk. Third, the notion 'to expose' means that the decision maker can take actions that can increase (or
decrease) the magnitude or chance of loss. Therefore 'to risk' implies the availability of choice."
(MacCrimmon and Wehrung 1986, 9)
Risk: Risk is when there is "accurate knowledge of a probability distribution of the consequences that
will follow on each alternative." (March and Simon, 1993)
Risk: Risk can be related directly to the concept of disaster, given that it includes the total losses and
damages that can be suffered after a natural hazard: dead and injured people, damage to property and
interruption of activities. Risk implies a future potential condition, a function of the magnitude of the
natural hazard and of the vulnerability of all the exposed elements in a determined moment. (Maskrey
1989,1)
Risk:"The term 'risk' is used in two ways. The first is to identify what is at risk from the threats generated
by the hazard. The second is to identify the probability of losing community assets. . ." (May, p. 6)
Risk: Technical definition as follows: Risk (consequence/unit time) = Frequency (events/unit time) x
Magnitude (consequence/event). (NRC 1975)
Risk:"The probability, based on available data and scientific knowledge, of a disaster occurring in a
particular place." (Pearce 2000, Chapter 5, p. 27)
Risk: Defined in three ways:
1. With regard solely to the occurrence probability of the damaging event - a statistical concept.
2. With regard to both event probability and the degree and type of damage or potential damage (here,
risk is seen as the product of event probability and severity of impact).
3. With regard to the distribution of power within society as well as to the distribution of costs and
benefits. In other words, who bears and who imposes the risk? (Penning-Rowsell and Handmer 1990,6;
cited in Pearce 2000, Chapter 2,20)
Risk: A function of two major factors: (a) the probability that an event, or series of events of various
magnitudes, will occur, and (b) the consequences of the event(s). (Petak and Alkinson 1982)

Risk: The potential for unwanted negative consequences of an event or activity. (Rowe 1997)
51
Risk: For engineering purposes, risk is defined as the expected losses (lives lost, persons injured,
damage to property, and disruption of economic activity) caused by a particular phenomenon. Risk is a
function of the probability of particular occurrences and the losses each would cause. Other analysts use
the term to mean the probability of a disaster occurring and resulting in a particular level of loss. A
societal element is said to be at "risk", or "vulnerable", when it is exposed to known disaster hazards and
is likely to be adversely affected by the impact of those hazards if and when they occur. The
communities, structures, services, or activities concerned are described as elements at "risk", Also, the
FEMA damage and casualty production model for simultaneously handling multiple nuclear attacks to
produce the spectrum of likely attack results and determine their associated possibilities. A pre-attack
planning tool. (Simeon Institute 1992)
Risk: Risk is an integral part of life. Indeed, the Chinese word for risk "weij-ji" combines the characters
meaning 'opportunity/chance' and 'danger' to imply that uncertainty always involves some balance
between profit and loss. Since risk cannot be completely eliminated, the only option is to manage it.
(Smith 1996, 54)
Risk: The probability per unit time of the occurrence of a unit cost burden. The cost burden may be
measured in terms of injuries (fatalities or days of disability) or other damage penalties (expense
incurred) or total social costs (including environmental intangibles). Risk thus involves the integrated
combination of (a) the probability of occurrences, (b) the spectrum of event magnitudes, and (c) the
spectrum of resultant personal injuries and related costs. (Starr, Rudman, and Whipple 1976)
Risk: The product of probability and consequences. (Tarrant 1997-98, 20)
Risk:". . .the chance that some event that affects us adversely will occur." (Terry 2001,330) ". . .the
chance of an adverse event happening and the consequences of that event taken together." (331)
Risk: Expected losses (of lives, persons injured, property damaged and economic activity disrupted) due
to a particular hazard for a given area and reference period. Based on mathematical calculations, risk is
the product of hazard and vulnerability. (U.N. 1992, 5)
Risk:: "The probability of harmful consequences, or expected loss (of lives, people injured, property,
livelihoods, economic activity disrupted or environment damaged) resulting from interactions between
natural or human induced hazards and vulnerable/capable conditions. Conventionally risk is expressed
by the equation Risk = Hazards x Vulnerability/Capacity." (U.N. IS DR 2002,24)
Risk: The possibility of loss, injury, disadvantage or destruction; to expose to hazard or danger; to incur
risk or danger. (Webster's 1981)
Risk: Risk if the product of the probability of the occurrence of a hazard and its societal consequences.
(Pearce 2000, Chapter 2, 21; citing Whyte and Burton, 1980)
Risk Analysis: The systematic use of available information to characterize risk. (Salter 1997-98, 24)
Risk Analysis: A detailed examination performed to understand the nature of unwanted, negative
consequences to human life, health, property, or the environment; an analytical process to provide
information regarding undesirable events; the process of quantification of the probabilities and expected
consequences for identified risks. (Gratt 1987, 244)
Risk Analysis:". . .incorporates estimates of the probability of various levels of injury and damage to
provide a more complete description of the risk from the full range of possible hazard events in the area"
(Deyle, French, Olshansky, and Paterson 1998, 121-122).

Risk Analysis: Risk analysis is the most sophisticated level of hazard assessment. It involves making
quantitative estimates of the damage, injuries, and costs likely to be experienced within a specified
geographic area over a specific period of time. Risk, therefore, has two measurable components: (1) the
magnitude of the harm that may result (defined through vulnerability assessment); and (2) the likelihood
or probability of the harm occurring in any particular location within any specified period of time (risk =
magnitude x probability). A comprehensive risk analysis includes a full probability assessment of various
levels of the hazard as well as probability assessments of impacts on structures and populations. (Deyle,
French, Olshansky, and Paterson 1998, 134.)

Risk Assessment: "refers to the technical assessment of the nature and magnitude of risk". (Cohrssen
and Covello, 1989)
Risk Assessment: The process of identifying the likelihood and consequences of an event to provide
the basis for informed decisions on a course of action. (FEMA 1992)
Risk Assessment:"Risk assessment is the process of measuring the potential loss of life, personal
injury, economic injury, and property damage resulting from natural hazards by assessing the
vulnerability of people, buildings, and infrastructure to natural hazards.
Risk assessment answers the fundamental question that fuels the natural hazard mitigation process:
What would happen if a natural hazard event occurred in your community.'"
A risk assessment tells you:
"The hazards to which your state or community is susceptible;
What these hazards can do to physical,social, and economic assets;
Which areas are most vulnerable to damage from these hazards; and
The resulting cost of damages ir costs avoided through future mitigation projects." (FEMA 2001, Iii)
Risk Assessment: Risk assessment estimates the probable degree of injury and property damage in a
given area over a specific time interval (Godschalk, Kaiser, and Berke 1998, 99.)
Risk Assessment: The process, including both risk analysis and risk management alternatives, of
establishing information regarding and acceptable levels of that risk for an individual, group, society, or
the environment. (Gratt 1987, 244)
Risk Assessment:"A risk assessment is an objective scientific assessment of the chance of
experiencing loss or adverse consequences when physical and social elements are exposed to
potentially harmful natural and technological hazards, environmental impact, morbidity, and mortality."
(Hays and Ryland 2001 )
Risk Assessment:"Risk assessment, is a systematic characterization of the probability of an adverse
event and the nature and severity of that event (Presidential/Congressional Commission on Risk
Assessment and Risk Management 1997). Risk assessments are most often used to determine the
human health or ecological impacts of specific chemical substances, microorganisms, radiation, or
natural events. . ..In the natural-hazards field, risk assessment has a broader meaning, and involves a
systematic process of defining the probability of an adverse event (e.g., flood) and where that event is
most likely to occur." (Hill and Cutter 2001, 15-16)
Risk Assessment: (sometimes Risk Analysis) The process of determining the nature and scale of the
losses (due to disasters) which can be anticipated in particular areas during a specified time period. Risk
assessment involves an analysis and combination of both theoretical and empirical data concerning the
probabilities of known disaster hazards of particular force or intensities occurring in each area ("hazard

mapping"); and the losses (both physical and functional) expected to result to each element at risk in
each area from the impact of each potential disaster hazard ("vulnerability analysis and expected loss
estimation"). (Simeon Institute 1992)
53
Risk Assessment:"The statistical analysis of risk. . .based on mathematical theories of probability and
scientific methods for identifying causal links between different types of hazardous activity and the
resulting adverse consequences" (Smith 1996, 57).
According to Kates and Kasperson (1983), risk assessment comprises three distinct steps:
1. An identification of hazards likely to result in disasters, Le. what hazardous events may occur?
2. An estimation of the risks of such events, Le. what is the probability of each event?
3. An evaluation of the social consequences of the derived risk, Le. what is the loss created by each
event?" (Smith 1996, 58)
Risk Assessment/Analysis: "A process to determine the nature and extent of risk by analyzing potential
hazards and evaluating existing conditions of vulnerability/capacity that could pose a potential threat or
harm to people, property, livelihoods and the environment on which they depend." (U.N. ISDR 2002, 24
Risk Aversion: ". . .the value people place directly on reducing their own and others' risk of death and
injury. . ." (Smith 1996, 72).
Risk Characterization: "Risk characterization is a synthesis and summary of information about a
potentially hazardous situation that addresses the needs and interests of decision makers and of
interested and affected parties. Risk characterization is a prelude to decision making and depends on an
interative, analytical-deliberate process." (National Research Council, 1996, p. 27)
Risk Communication: ". . . the effective understanding of risks and the transfer of risk information to the
public, and the transfer of information from the public to decisionmakers. . ..Risk management decisions
should not simply be made by technical experts and public officials and then imposed on, and justified to,
the public after the fact. Risk Communication involves a dialogue among interested parties - risk experts,
policy makers, and affected citizens." (Committee on Risk-Based Analysis. . .2000, 37)
Risk Communication: ". . .an interactive process of exchange of information and opinion among
individuals, groups and institutions. . ..We construe risk communication to be successful to the extent
that it raises the level of understanding of relevant issues or actions for those involved and satisfies them
that they are adequately informed within the limits of available knowledge." (NRC 1989, 2)
"The NRC (1989, 149) concludes that four objectives are key to improving risk communications: (1) goal
setting, (2) openness, (3) balance, and (4) competence. As a means of achieving these objectives, it is
important, at the start of any given project, to determine:
. what the public know, believe, and do not believe about the subject risk and ways to control it;
. what quantitative and qualitative information participants need to know to make critical
decisions;
. and how they think about and conceptualize the risk. (NRC 1989, 153)." (Pearce 2000, Chapter
3,16)
"Pidgeon et al. (cited in Horlick-Jones and Jones 1993, 31) conclude that there are four different
conceptual approaches to risk communication:
. Scientific communications - 'top-down' or one-way transmission of some message about a
hazard from a particular 'expert' source to a target 'non-expert' audience.
08_Citizen Corps Framework_PSAC0514_revgTOC

. Two-way exchange - an interactive process that recognizes the important role that feedback
plays in any complex communication.
"""".,.
54
. Wider institutional and cultural contexts stressed - communicator takes account of the actions of
risk management institutions, possible conflicting messages, and the history of the hazard in
question.
. Risk communication as part of a wider political process - the process as a prerequisite to the
enabling and empowerment of risk-bearing groups." (Pearce 2000, Chapter 3, 16)

Risk Management: "Public Risk management is a process that is used to decide what to do where a
risk has been determined to exist. It involves identifying the level of tolerance the community has for a
specific risk or set of risks and determines what risk assessment options are acceptable within a social,
economic, cultural and political context. To achieve this, the process must be open since it has to factor
in benefits, costs of control and any statutory or socially approved requirements needed to manage the
risk. Hence, it requires communicating and consulting with the public-at-Iarge, either directly or through
appropriate representation as well as with specialists" (Britton 1998, 1).
Risk Management: The process of intervening to reduce risk-the making of public and private decisions
regarding protective policies and actions that reduce the threat to life, property, and the environment
posed by hazards. Generally, the risk management process attempts to answer the following questions:
1. What can be done?
2. What options or alternatives are available and what are their associated tradeoffs in terms of costs,
benefits, and other (current and future risks?
3. What are the effects of current decisions on future options? (Shaw, 1999.)
Risk Management: A Framework for the systematic application of management policies, procedures
and practices to the tasks of identifying, analyzing, evaluating, treating and monitoring risk. (Standards
1995,4360; quoted in Salter (1997-98,22)
Risk Management: "The systematic management of administrative decisions, organizations, operational
skills and responsibilities to apply policies, strategies and practices for disaster risk reduction." (U.N.
ISDR 2002, 25)
Risk Management: "Process of deciding what should be done about a hazard; deciding which hazards
at what scale (intensity, occurrence interval) should be managed and in what priority." (Williamson and
Lawless, 2001)
Risk Perception: "Slovic (cited in Slaymaker 1995, 3) defines risk perception as 'the 'common sense'
understanding of hazards, exposure and risk, arrived at by a community through intuitive reasoning. .
.usually expressed. . .as 'safe' or 'unsafe'.' He goes on the mention that 'policy decisions are almost
always driven by perceived risk among the population affected and among decision makers [and that]
these perceptions are commonly at variance with 'technical' risk assessments.'" (Pearce 2000, Chapter
3, 18)

Risk Reduction: Long-term measures to reduce the scale and/or the duration eventual adverse effects
of unavoidable or unpreventable disaster hazards on a society which is at risk, by reducing the
vulnerability of its people, structures, services, and economic activities to the impact of known disaster
hazards. Typical risk reduction measures include improved building standards, flood plain zoning and
land-use planning, crop diversification, and planting windbreaks. The measures are frequently
subdivided into "structural" and "non-structural", " active" and "passive" measures. N.S. A number of
sources have used" disaster mitigation" in this context, while others have used "disaster prevention."

Federal Government to State and local governments in carrying out their responsibilities to alleviate the
suffering and damage which result from disaster. The President, in response to a State Governor's
request, may declare and "emergency" or "major disaster" in order to provide Federal assistance under
the Act. The President, in Executive Order 12148, delegated all functions, except those in Sections 301,
401, and 409, to the Director, of FEMA. The Act provides for the appointment of a Federal Coordinating
Officer who will operate in the designated area with a State Coordinating Officer for the purpose of
coordinating state and local disaster assistance efforts with those of the Federal Government. (44 CFR

Storm Surge: The difference between the actual water level under influence of a meteorological
disturbance (storm tide) and the level which would have been attained in the absence of the
meteorological disturbance (Le. astronomical tide). (WMO 1992, 584)
Superfund: The trust fund established initially under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act and extended under the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
Act to provide money that can be used during cleanups associated with inactive hazardous waste
disposal sites. (FEMA 1992)
Sustainable Communities: .where people and property are kept out of the way of natural hazards,
where the inherently mitigating qualities of natural environmental systems are maintained, and where
development is designed to be resilient in the face of natural forces. . ." (Godschalk, Kaiser, and Berke
1998,86)
Sustainable Development: ''In its broader sense, sustainability is defined as development that meets
the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
In the context of emergency management, this meaning remains and it is linked to creating places that
are less vulnerable to natural and technological hazards and that are resilient to those events.
Sustainable hazard management has five components: environmental quality; quality of life; disaster
resilience; economic vitality; and inter- and intra-generational equity. Reducing the risk from hazards,
reducing losses from disasters and working toward sustainable communities go hand-in-hand" (Britton
1998,1).
Sustainable Development: ". . .the reconciliation of society's development goals with Planet Earth's
environmental limits over the long term." (Carrido and Hays 2001, 1)
Sustainable Development: "Sustainable development - which meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs - is generally understood to
require (1) economic growth, (2) protection of the environment, and (3) sustainable use of ecological
systems. There is, however, a fourth criterion of equal importance: Sustainable development must be
resilient with respect to the natural variability of the Earth and the solar system." (NSTC 1996, 4)
Sustainable Development: Sustainable development is that which "meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." (UN World Commission

Terrorism: "The calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear;
intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally
political, religious, or ideological." (FEMA Disaster Dictionary 2001, 120; citing DoD Joint Pub 1-102)
Thunderstorm: Sudden electrical discharges manifested by a flash of light (lightning) and a sharp or
rumbling sound (thunder). Thunderstorms are associated with convective clouds (Cumulonimbus) and
are, more often, accompanied by precipitation in the form of rain showers or hail, or occasionally snow,
snow pellets, or ice pellets. (WMO 1992, 622)

Tragedy: "An intensely sad, calamitous, or fatal event or course of events; disaster" (Funk & Wagnalls
1996).
"The word 'tragedy' summons up in one's mind the inevitability not only of this event but of other similar
events in the past and more to follow. Responsibility can be successfully abrogated with the application
of the label 'tragedy'. . .One needs to look no further into the cause or causes of this event because it
has now been lifted outside of one's power and into the domain of Greek drama and fate. As a tragedy, it
was fated to be and the only possible response is to accept it (and others of its kind) as part of the
inescapable human situation. The event may be mourned and one may sympathize briefly with the
victims. But one is freed (by thinking of it as a tragedy) from the need to examine the conceptual
apparatus that led to this outcome" (Allinson 1993, 14).

Volcanic Dust: Dust of particles emitted by a volcano during an eruption. They may remain suspended
in the atmosphere for long periods and be carried by the winds to different regions of the Earth. (WMO

Vulnerability: the characteristics of a person or group in terms of their capacity to anticipate, cope with,
resist, and recover from the impact of a natural hazard. It involves a combination of factors that
determine the degree to which someone's life and livelihood is put at risk by a discrete and identifiable
event in nature or in society. (Blaikie et aI., 9)
Vulnerability: "Risk. . .should not be confused with vulnerability, which refers to the resources and
coping abilities of a specific community to a specific hazard. . .vulnerability is a reflection of the
community's coping resources and may vary within the smaller social and economic groups which form a
large community." (Lindsay 1993, 68)
Vulnerability: "For some, particularly natural and physical scientists, vulnerability is defined as proximity
or exposure to natural hazards or the probability of a disastrous occurrence (including the potential for
losses owing to triggering agents) (see Reynolds 1993). Engineers, in contrast, define vulnerability as
the ability of a built structure to resist the strain or force exerted by natural or other disaster agents
(Norton and Chantry 1993). Sociologists, anthropologists and other social scientists define vulnerability
as the amount of coping capacity, or the degree to which social, cultural, political and economic factors
limit the ability to take steps to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, or recover from disaster (see Blaikie and
others 1994; Sinha 1992a ; Pelanda 1982 )." (McEntire 1999, 5)
Vulnerability: "The susceptibility of people, property, industry, resources, ecosystems, or historical
buildings and artifacts to the negative impact of a disaster." (Pearce 2000, Chapter 5, p. 37). Is "a

Vulnerability: The degree of susceptibility and resilience of the community and environment to hazards,
the characteristics of a community or system in terms of its capacity to anticipate, cope with, and recover
from events. (Salter 1997-98, 28)
Vulnerability: The extent to which a community, structure, service, or geographic area is likely to be
damaged or disrupted by the impact of a particular disaster hazard, on account of their nature,
construction, and proximity to hazardous terrain or a disaster-prone area. For engineering purposes,
vulnerability is a mathematical function defined as the degree of loss to a given element at risk, or set of
such elements, expected to result from the impact of a disaster hazard of a given magnitude. It is specific
to a particular type of structure, and expressed on a scale of 0 (no damage) to 1 (total damage). For
more general socio-economic purposes and macro-level analyses, vulnerability is a less-strictly-defined
concept. It incorporates considerations of both the intrinsic value of the elements concerned and their
functional value in contributing to communal well-being in general and to emergency response and post-
disaster recovery in particular. In many cases, it is necessary ( and sufficient) to settle for a qualitative
classification in terms of "high", "medium", and "low"; or explicit statements concerning the disruption
likely to be suffered. (Simeon Institute)
Vulnerability: Ability to withstand damage - expressed on a scale of 0 (no damage) to 10 (total
damage). (UNDRO 1991)
Vulnerability: Degree of loss (from 0% to 100%) resulting from a potentially damaging phenomenon.
(U.N. 1992, 5)
Vulnerability: "A set of conditions and processes resulting from physical, social, economical and
environmental factors, which increase the susceptibility of a community to the impact of hazards." (U.N.
ISDR 2002,24)
Vulnerability Analysis: Identifies what is susceptible to damage. Should provide information on extent
of the vulnerable zone; population, in terms of size and types that could be expected to be within the
vulnerable zone; private and public property that may be damaged, including essential support systems
and transportation corridors; and environment that may be affected.
Vulnerability Analysis: The process of estimating the vulnerability to potential disaster hazards of
specified elements at risk. For engineering purposes, vulnerability analysis involves the analysis of
theoretical and empirical data concerning the effects of particular phenomena on particular types of
structures. For more general socio-economic purposes, it involves consideration of all significant
elements in society, including physical, social and economic considerations (both short and long-term),
and the extent to which essential services (and traditional and local coping mechanisms) are able to
continue functioning. (Simeon Institute 1998)
Vulnerability Analysis: The objectives of a vulnerability analysis of an industrial system may comprise:
To identify potential threats to the system
To verify that the vulnerability of the system is acceptable
To verify that the system's security actions and installations, and safety functions are adequate
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a proposed action to improve the vulnerability
To aid in establishing an emergency preparedness plan

In a vulnerability analysis we work with open system models, where risk factors both inside and outside
the physical boundaries of the system are taken into account. A vulnerability analysis and a risk analysis 59
of the same company will therefore produce quite different sets of accidental events. . ..
A traditional risk analysis is mainly limited to accidental events taking place within the physical
boundaries of the system, and the threats studied are often limited to technological hazards within these
boundaries. . ..The actions to mitigate, restore and restart the activities after an accident are normally not
part of a risk analysis. . ..A vulnerability analysis focuses on the whole disruption period until a new
stable situation is obtained. . ..The focal point of a vulnerability analysis is the (business) survivability of
the system. (Einarsson and Raussand 1998)
Vulnerability Assessment: Evaluation of the likely degree of loss to a risk or a set of hazards. (D&E
Reference Center 1998)
Vulnerability Assessment:. . .characterizes the exposed populations and property and the extent of
injury and damage that may result from a natural hazard event of a given intensity in a given area.
(Deyle, French, Olshansky and Paterson 1998, 121).
Vulnerability Assessment: Vulnerability assessment, the second level of hazard assessment,
combines the information from the hazard identification with an inventory of the existing (or planned)
property and population exposed to a hazard. It provides information on who and what are vulnerable to
a natural hazard within the geographic areas defined by hazard identification; vulnerability assessment
can also estimate damage and casualties that will result from various intensities of the hazard." (Deyle et
a!. 1998, 129)
Vulnerability Assessment: Vulnerability assessment estimates the number of people exposed to
hazards (including special populations such as the elderly, hospitalized, disabled, and concentrated
populations such as children in schools), the property exposed, and the critical facilities exposed (such
as medical care facilities, bridges, sewage treatment and water pumping and treatment plants, power
plants, and police and fire stations. (Godschalk, Kaiser, and Berke 1998, 98-99.)
Vulnerability Assessment:"... The concept of vulnerability incorporates the notion of differential
susceptibility and differential impacts." (Hill and Cutter, 2001,16)

Warning: Dissemination of message signaling imminent hazard which may include advice on protective
measures. See also "alert". (U.N. 1992,5)
Warning: A warning is issued by the National Weather Service to let people know; that a severe weather
event is already occurring or is imminent. People should take immediate safety action. (Simeon Institute
1992)
Watch: A watch is issued by the National Weather Service to let people know that conditions are right for
a potential disaster to occur. It does not mean that an event will necessarily occur. People should listen
to their radio or TV to keep informed about changing weather conditions. A watch is issued for specific
geographic areas, such as counties, for phenomena such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, flash floods,
severe thunderstorms, and winter storms. (Simeon Institute 1992)
Wetlands: Those areas which are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water with a frequency
sufficient to support, or that under normal hydrologic conditions does or would support, a prevalence of
vegetation or aquatic life typically adapted for life in saturated or seasonally saturated soil conditions.
Examples of wetlands include, but are not limited to, swamps, fresh and salt water marshes, estuaries,
bogs, beaches, wet meadows, sloughs, potholes, mud flats, river overflows, and other similar areas. This
definition includes those wetland areas separated from their natural supply of water as a result of
activities such as the construction of structural flood protection methods or solid-fill road beds and
