INTRODUCTION
The 2007 Edition of the Ohio Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) is a revision from theMarch 2003 document. Similar to the ’03 version, this document was prepared by Plans Branch personnelat Ohio EMA with the assistance of all branches at Ohio EMA and other state/federal partners. Inparticular, the work performed by the Mitigation Branch and its hazard analysis in the EnhancedMitigation Plan was very beneficial.
The intent of this document is to be a useful tool for state and local emergency management partners todiscuss hazard and vulnerability. The HIRA does not provide policy or action-based recommendations tomanage hazards. This document is one element of a comprehensive emergency management program thatincorporates mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. Mitigation plans, the State of OhioEmergency Operations Plan as well as standard operating procedures round-out a comprehensive programto manage hazards.
Emergency management in Ohio is governed by Ohio Revised Code 5502. Sections 5502.21 mandatesthat the EMA, a division of the Department of Public Safety, is the primary coordinating agency forstatewide emergency readiness activities to meet the threats posed by various hazards.ii In cooperationwith other state offices and agencies, the agency has developed this analysis of the primary hazards thatmay threaten both lives and property.
Much discussion about hazards, hazard identification and risk analysis permeates the professional andacademic literature in emergency management. For the purpose of this HIRA, we will use the OhioRevised Code (ORC) explanation of hazard. ‘Hazards’ in Chapter 5502.21 of the ORC are defined as:"…means any actual or imminent threat to the survival or overall health, safety, or welfare of the civilianpopulation that is caused by any natural, human-made, or technological event.”iii
As defined by the ORC, "Hazard identification means an identification, historical analysis, inventory, orspatial distribution of risks that could affect a specific geographical area and that would cause a threat tothe survival, health, safety, or welfare of the civilian population, the property of that population, or theenvironment.”iv The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1600 requires entities to“identify hazards, monitor those hazards, the likelihood of their occurrence, and the vulnerability ofpeople, property and the environment, and the entity itself to those hazards”v as part of the riskassessment process.
A General Overview of Hazards in Ohio
Upon reviewing the literature in hazard analysis, nearly sixty hazards were identified. These hazardsinclude those listed in NFPA 1600, the 15 National Planning Scenarios, the National Plan Review, areport produced for Ohio EMA by URS, and Ohio EMA’s Enhanced Mitigation Plan. To help simplifythe hazards, three major groups have been created to categorize the hazards based on the categoriesrecommended in NFPA 1600. The categories are Natural Hazards/Events, Human Caused Hazards/Eventsand Technological Hazards/Events as shown in Figure 1. Each of the hazards identified are not mutuallyexclusive. Meaning, rain and flooding may lead to landslides/mudslides/subsidence and hazardousmaterial events. Therefore, the hazard categories are grouped into five sub-groups of hazards below thethree categories. For instance, the Natural Hazards utilize Biological, Geological and Meteorological sub-categories. Some hazards are not germane to Ohio and/or not likely enough a scenario to warrant

consideration in this hazard identification and risk analysis. These non-analyzed hazards are noted by theheading of “Not analyzed for HIRA”.

The most damaging hazards/events are floods and tornadoes. Other severe weather events, such as winterstorms, have also led to floods or costly recovery actions. Drought has also led to agricultural losses andforced water users to seek assistance during these sustained periods of insufficient precipitation.
For over 200 years, earthquakes, often centered on the Anna (Shelby County) Fault Line, have alsooccurred in Ohio, with most classified as “minor” in nature. A large-scale (regional) event involving theNew Madrid, Missouri fault, could significantly affect portions of southwestern Ohio.
Activities associated with humankind also have their effects; woodland and field fires show a need toreduce this costly resource depletion. Mine closings have led to issues related to subsidence andlandslides. From the 1940s until the present, closings were made without actions to prevent shaftcollapses. Urban expansion, or new highway construction, has led to damages related to these collapses.Class I and other earthen dams also pose a potential threat to adjacent, or downstream, communities(although not to the extent of floods or tornadoes). Many of these dams serve as up-ground reservoirs orrecreational sites. If not properly built or maintained, they may fail, leading to downstream flooding andstrained response capabilities.
Over 50 years, the “technical dependency” of the state and nation has become a fact of life. The increaseduse of synthetics has led to both storage and disposal problems. HAZMAT incidents remain as the mostcommon form of technological threat to Ohio, occurring almost daily. Incidents involving the shipmentand handling of low-level radioactive isotopes have also required state response actions over a period ofyears.
In addition to fossil fuels, electric power generation now uses nuclear technology. Three nucleargenerating facilities are sited in, or within five miles of, Ohio. The 50-mile ingestion pathway from theEnrico Fermi plant in Michigan also extends below the state line. In an emergency involving a singlepower plant, over 95,000 residents could be affected by accidental emissions. Response and recoveryactions could cost millions of public and private sector dollars.
Three separate U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) facilities also pose a potential risk. The issue of on-sitewaste treatment and the removal from these sites poses a unique hazard for adjacent communities. In theevent of a problem, local subdivisions (and the state) would be engaged in extensive recovery actions.
Passenger and cargo airlines continue to cover the state’s airspace daily and railway accidents remain amatter of concern in areas of high traffic density. Like other hazards, transportation events may not occurregularly, but authorities in areas with a high density of air or rail traffic should weigh the potential of atransportation emergency.
Another significant concern has been planning the consideration of emerging diseases, such as Avian Flu.This event type would likely be regional if not global in nature. Unlike other events, this would notdirectly affect our infrastructure but strike the personnel needed to respond and recover. Large numbers ofpeople would likely expire from this type of event.
Since 1964, nearly 45 major emergency events have received a Presidential Declaration of Disaster. As aresult, Ohioans have received over hundreds of millions in federal assistance monies. The EMA hasassisted both the public and private sectors in obtaining this assistance.
Page 7 of 39
Although hazards may either decrease, or increase, from a strictly numerical standpoint, inflationary laborand material trends have caused overall recovery costs to rise. Each new event is more costly to the stateand nation than its predecessors.
As national mutual aid between states grows, our state may have to contend with hazards not necessarilyassociated with Ohio. For instance, Ohio sent numerous resources with the nearly 4,000 Ohio NationalGuard and civilian personnel to Hurricane Katrina and Rita in the fall/winter of 2005. Planning andprocedures are being developed and/or revised to deal with events occurring in other regions of thecountry.
An Ohio Profile
All geographical and political subdivisions of the state are vulnerable to some form of natural,technological, or other hazard. The effects of these (regardless of type or size) upon the state may varydue to differences in climate, geography, or land use. A better understanding of both hazards andassociated risks may be obtained by a brief examination of the characteristics of the state.
Geography and Climate
With a total land area of 40,948 square miles and a 2005 population in excess of 11,464,042, Ohio ranks35th in size and seventh in population in comparison with the balance of the U.Svi.
Topographically, the state presents a varied combination of landforms, which are diagonally dividedbetween the flat, glaciated, areas of the north - northwest to the unglaciated highlands in the south andsoutheast. The steeply incised landforms in the south and east have often contributed to flooding,mudslides, and other effects via rapid runoff from heavy rains and meltwater. In the north and west, thelevel topography has also received a share of flooding when heavy snowstorms have been followed byrapid meltwater discharges.
The state possesses a continental climate ranging through the year from cold, damp winters to warm,humid summers with prevailing westerly wind patterns. Annual temperature ranges vary from an averageof 37.0 degrees F to an average of 85.0 degrees F in July. Average annual precipitation, both rain andsnow, is 37.0 inches overall.
The Economy of Ohio (including transportation)
Ohio has a diversified economy based upon agriculture, extractive, manufacturing, and various serviceindustries or activities. The southeastern highlands are especially rich in mineral resources, and althoughreduced in recent years, extractive mineral and mining activities (coal, oil, gas, and aggregates) add anannual $2+ billion to the economy. Manufacturing contributes $245+ billion to the state’s economicpicture. Agriculture, extractive forestry, and services contribute billions more to the total. The balance ofeconomic activity consists of various research and development efforts.
An extensive transportation network supports this economy. State, federal and interstate highways formconnecting links to, or around, major metropolitan areas. Both large and medium-sized cities hostcommercial air traffic carriers. Although reduced in total mileage and traffic volume, rail lines still linkmining, industrial, and metropolitan centers. Waterborne commerce (via barge or ship) contributes tolocal economies along the Ohio River and the Lake Erie shore.

A Historical Review of Disasters
For almost 200 years, the State of Ohio has experienced disasters varying in origins and effects. Some ofthe more noteworthy of these, which resulted in loss of life or economic damages, are listed in Figure l onthe following page:

These incidents have affected both people and property. Gubernatorial declarations have often beenissued for a number of other events, not qualifying for federal assistance via Presidential Declarations, as“Emergencies” or “Disasters”. This process serves to initiate coordinated state response efforts for areasrequiring assistance beyond local capabilities.
RISK ASSESSMENT, THE ANALYSIS PROCESS (METHODOLOGY, FACTORS, AND VALUES)
Recent events and changes in planning methodologies at the federal level have affected the generallyaccepted hazards. For instance, while the focus of federal planning and coordination is thrust towardsterrorism, it is the ninth rated hazard in total risk for Ohio. The following section describes the generalprocess by which risk was captured for each of the 27 hazards identified.
A hazard identification and risk analysis consists of two elements. The first is the identification of ahazard. The second element is an assessment of the vulnerability associated with that hazard. Research forthis analysis involved the collection of both historical and statistical data, including interviews withprofessionals in various disciplines. Information was then systematically analyzed for potential risk value.The risks associated with each hazard were further assessed using seven factors with numerical riskvalues. These seven factors are Frequency, Duration, Speed of Onset, Magnitude, Impact on Business,Impact on Human (people), and impact on Property. The Frequency, Duration, Speed of Onset andMagnitude comprise the profile of the hazard. Generally, these factors were considered an averageoccurrence of the hazard, not necessarily a catastrophic incidence. Vulnerability to an agent is based onthe factors of business, human, property. Numerical values were applied to provide a basis on which tocompare assigned weights among hazards and assigned risks. Factor value totals were added, allowinghazards to be compared against each other to obtain final rankings.
Frequency
A key factor in the hazardousness of particular agent is the frequency with which it occurs. Some hazardshave been relatively frequent in this state while others were only sporadic. For this hazard analysis, thefrequency with which an event occurs is based on the number of Gubernatorial Declarations associatedwith the hazard agent from 1991 through 2007. Using Gubernatorial Declarations provides a minimumthreshold of damage as well as provides a wider variety of hazards than utilizing the presidentialdeclarations. The only frustration with this profile is the lack of longevity of the sample. The Secretary ofState for Ohio only has records going back to 1991.
1 2 3 4_______________5None Low Medium High Excessive
If a hazard/event had no occurrences, it scored a one. If the hazard/event occurred from one to two times,it has a Low Probability of occurrence and scored a two. If it occurred three to five times, it has a MediumProbability and numerical score of three. If the hazard was experienced six to eight times, has a HighProbability and scored a four. If the hazard occurred nine or more times, it received an ExcessiveProbability rating and a score of five.
It is important to note that frequency was considered a key factor in determining the hazard profile. Tothat end, the score for this factor was multiplied by 1.5 to weight the score more importantly than otherfactors. See Appendix 1 for more information.
Page 16 of 39
Average Response Duration
Average Response Duration may be defined as “time on the ground” or the time-period of response to ahazard, or event. Transportation accidents may last a few hours whereas a tire fire may last a week or aflood several weeks. Duration, therefore, may not always be indicative of the degree of damage but itremains a factor.
1 2 3 4_________________5Minimal Short Medium Long Excessive
(Less than ½ day) (Less than 1 day) (Less than 1 week) (Less than 1 month) (Less than 1 Year)
Average Speed of Onset
Average Speed of Onset may affect all other factors do to lack of warning or time to prepare for impact.The lead-time required protecting lives and property varies greatly with each event. For instance, a winterstorm may develop so slowly that there is time to alert crews and emplace plows, but flash floods canoccur with no warning.
1 2 3 4Extended Medium Short Short-None
(Over 24 hours) (12 – 24 hours) (6 to 12 hours) (Minimal to no warning)
Average Magnitude (Impact)
Average Magnitude is the geographic dispersion of the hazard. For instance, how many counties would beimpacted by a flood or hazardous material incident? Similar to the Frequency, this hazard deemed moreimportant and therefore received a weighted value of 1.25 above the raw score. The score is based on thenumber of counties potentially impacted by an event.
1 2 3 4Negligible Limited Critical Catastrophic
(Less than 10) (10 to 25) (25 to 50) (More than 50)
Impact on Business
The Impact on Business refers to enduring economic impact of the hazard on the community by an event.A score of one compares to a shutdown of critical facilities for less than 24 hours. Two equals a completeshutdown of critical facilities for one week. A score of three means a complete shutdown of criticalfacilities for at least two weeks. A score of four equals a complete shutdown of critical facilities for 30days or more. This factor was developed and in keeping with the hazard analysis developed by theMitigation Branch at Ohio EMA in their Enhanced Mitigation Plan.

Page 17 of 39
Impact on Human (People)
This factor relates to the number of lives potentially lost to a particular hazard agent. This factor can varybetween jurisdictions based on economic, geographic, and demographics of the particular populations.Therefore, some generalization need be inflected on this factor. This factor was developed and in keepingwith the hazard analysis developed by the Mitigation Branch at Ohio EMA in their Enhanced MitigationPlan.

Impact on Property
This factor relates to the amount of property potentially lost to a particular hazard agent. This factor canvary between jurisdictions based on economics, geographic amount owned, and demographics of theparticular populations. Therefore, some generalization need be inflected on this factor. This factor wasdeveloped and in keeping with the hazard analysis developed by the Mitigation Branch at Ohio EMA intheir Enhanced Mitigation Plan.

HAZARD ANALYSIS AND RISK ASSESSMENT AND DETAILED HAZARD OVERVIEW
The analysis process discussed in the previous chapter was applied to the entire state employing thehistorical data described in Chapter I. A numerical rating value was developed for each factor(Attachment 1). Since the analysis incorporates data applicable to the entire state, the data for any specific(county) jurisdiction may differ.
Attachment 1 provides a multitude of information for each hazard. Categorized by NFPA 1600 typingeach hazard is noted by which reference documents it was cited. The attachment also shows the numericalscore for the hazard profile as well as vulnerability. The risk score is shown for each hazard.
Attachment 2 provides a rank order of the hazards from greatest to least in terms of total risk. Thisdocument also provides the hazard profile and vulnerability information.
Natural Hazards
Flood, Flash Flood, Seiche
Flood, Flash Flood, Seiche (Total Risk = 28.25), with the highest numerical rating, are the primarydisaster threat to life and property in Ohio. Although often confined to specific drainage systems orgeographic regions, floods can pose a threat to over 700 communities and a potential 5-8 million residentsin all 88 counties. Protective actions (evacuation/sheltering) may deplete both material and fiscalresources. Floodwaters have also damaged key infrastructure elements (roads, bridges and sanitaryfacilities). Infrastructure damages may also lead to an increase in infectious diseases in some affectedareas. Other collateral problems include power outages and transportation delays. Mudslides, acomponent of the 1990 Shadyside event, are often a flood related concern in the S-SE. The costs in labor,time and monies for flood-related mitigation and preparation actions may also be exceedingly high.
The state can experience four types of floods. Riverine (The overflow of rivers and streams from rains ormeltwater); Flash (A fast rising of streams or “dry-gulch” waters after heavy rain/snowmelt); Urban andSmall Stream (An overflow of storm sewers and streams after a heavy rainfall); and Coastal (Floodsalong the Lake Erie shoreline, often associated with severe storms and/or seiche waves)
In a space of 16 months, in the late 1990s, two major floods affected the state. The first, in February 1997,caused flash and riverine flooding in 18 southern counties. In June 1998, a varied weather pattern withtornadoes, severe storms, and flash flooding struck 23 counties on a northwest to southeast track. Theseevents affected thousands of residents and caused millions of dollars in business and residential losses.The following chart provides a comparison of these events:
Page 19 of 39

Windstorm, Tornadoes
Windstorms and Tornadoes (Total Risk = 25.25).are the second greatest threat to the state. These violent,rotary windstorms can attain speeds up to 300+ mph and are often accompanied, or followed, by severethunderstorms. They may occur anywhere at any time of the year (most frequently in spring or earlysummer) with unpredictable, severe effects. Other severe storms, not officially classed as tornadoes, maybe almost as violent and damaging. The potential for loss of life and property is high, coupled with anability to overwhelm most response capabilities.
Effects vary according to wind speed, duration on the ground, and topography. Losses over a 30-yearperiod are estimated in excess of $110- million. From 1950 to present, 918 tornadoes were reported inOhio. The Lorain and Xenia storms cost over 30 lives and property damages were calculated in the multi-millions of dollars. As in the case of floods, recovery costs and times may extend over years.
On April 9, 1999, a tornado in Clinton, Hamilton, and Warren Counties, killed 4 and injured 42 whiledestroying or damaging over 400 dwellings. Fiscal losses were estimated at $82- million for the storm,which the NWS termed as the most devastating in terms of casualties since the l985 event, which killed18 Ohioans.

Emerging DiseasesEmerging diseases, such as plague, smallpox, anthrax, West Nile Virus, foot and mouth disease, SARS,pandemic influenza BSE (mad cow disease) are becoming increasingly prevalent on the world stage. Thistype of event would likely be regional if not global in nature. Pandemic Influenza has become a planningpriority for the state of Ohio through actions such as former Governor Taft’s Cabinet Advisory #05-235as well as at the federal level. Likewise, certain health conditions such as the MRSA staph infection arecoming to prevalence in the media.
Unlike many other hazards, this would not directly impact and cause failure to our infrastructure butstrike the personnel needed to respond and recover. Large numbers of people would likely expire fromthis type of event. Examples such as the 1918 Influenza Pandemics show the multitudes of people thatcould die from an event of this type.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes (Total Risk = 24.25) are defined as a rapid motion of the ground accompanied by shaking,faulting (surface and subsurface) and ground failure. Earthquakes from two points affect Ohio: eventshaving epicenters within the state, and those occurring along the New Madrid, Missouri Fault.
Page 21 of 39
Over 120 earthquakes with Ohio epicenters have occurred since 1776. Fifteen of these events have causedminor to moderate damage with the largest earthquake registering 5.4 magnitude in 1937. Fortunately,these events have not resulted in fatalities, only minor injuries, over the course of time.
Seismic activity is concentrated in, but not confined to, three areas of the state, the most active area, withat least 40 earthquake events since 1875, is the Anna Seismogenic Zone centered in Shelby County,(western Ohio). Many other events occurring around Lake County, or in the southeast, can cause major tomoderate damage. These areas rank as the second and third most active earthquake zones within the state.
Other counties with documented earthquake epicenters include Adams, Allen, Ashland, Ashtabula,Athens, Auglaize, Brown, Butler, Champaign, Clermont, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Greene, Hamilton,Hancock, Hardin, Highland, Hocking, Jackson, Lake, Lucas, Marion, Meigs, Mercer, Montgomery,Muskingum, Perry, Pike, Portage, Preble, Putnam, Richland, Ross, Sandusky, Scioto, Seneca, Shelby,Summit, Washington, Williams, Wood, and Wyandot.
The state would also be affected by events generated by the New Madrid Fault, extending from Arkansasto Indiana along the Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys. This fault generated the most powerfulearthquakes ever documented in the Continental US in a four-month period during 1811 and 1812. Ifearthquakes of this intensity occur again, devastating damages in our southwestern counties could beexpected.

Collateral effects from an earthquake could be extensive and may include hazardous material spills,landslides, subsidence, dam failures, fires, groundwater contamination, pipeline breaks, infrastructuredisruptions, epidemics, floods, along with theft/looting.
Snow, Ice, Hail and Sleet
Snow, Ice Hail and Sleet (Hazard Rating = 22.25) are the third leading weather-related threat to the state.These include heavy snowfall with extreme cold and ice, or a combination of the three.
A total of 304 Winter Storms from 1950 to present are reported by the National Weather Service. Thestorms of 1913, 1940, 1950, 1977, 1978, 1994, 1996, and 2004/2005 were especially damaging. Somewinter storms have occurred in specific sectors of the state; south/southeast (1984); east/northeast (1993);or south/southeast (1994). However, the storms of 1950 and 1978 were statewide in nature and of aseverity that required massive state/federal response and recovery efforts.
In addition to structural and power line damages, these storms have a potential for collateral effects;isolation and economic disruption (from roadway and business closings) along with ice dams and floodscaused by the melting process.
Landslide, Mudslide, Subsidence
Landslide, Mudslide and Subsidence (Total Risk = 19.25) are the next major natural threat. Subsidence isdefined as a drop in the earth’s surface due to a collapse in bedrock or other underlying material (coalpillars, rock, etc) into underground mines or other open space.
Land or Mudslides are defined as downward and outward movements of slopes due to rains or meltingsnow with accompanying damage and debris deposition. They may also include sudden collapses ofmines, tunnel walls, or supports with resulting damage to surface structures or features (buildings andhighways).
Landslides include three types. A Rotational Slump occurs when weak rock or sediment moves as a massin a slow or imperceptible movement. A more common event, Earthflow, involves rock, sediment, orweathered surface materials moving down slope in a mass. Rock fall is seen as the most common anddangerous form of movement. Rock from a cliff or cut will fall onto roadways or structures. This action iscommon during periods of late winter or early spring thawing. Traffic vibration, undercut slopes,increased weight on slopes, or the removal of vegetation and ensuing erosion may also contribute to theseevents. Events have been traced back to 1923 at various sites. They occur mainly through the Ohio or
Page 24 of 39
Scioto River Valleys, or elsewhere in the eastern portion of the state with some occurring along theeastern Lake Erie Shoreline (Figure 7).
During and after WWII, when the demand for mineral resources was high, the state had over 700 activecoalmines. As the supply of coal in many mines was exhausted, the mines were abandoned with little, orno, preparation. Supporting pillars of coal in shaft mines were mined away prior to closings. In the mid-1990s, over 6,000 closed underground mines were estimated to exist in 37 counties with over 61,000acres of land affected by closings or site abandonment. Abandoned mines have also occasionallycollapsed with damage to surface structures (e.g. Interstate 70 in Guernsey County) or costlyinfrastructure damage. Subsidence and landslides, particularly during the l997 - 98 floods, have also led tothe temporary relocation of farmsteads, housing units, or businesses.
Landslides and mudslides affecting roadways have also led to costly repair actions by state and localgovernments. It is estimated that repair or replacement costs could reach $9 million or more if a majorhighway is involved.

Human Caused Hazards
Building/Structure Collapse
Building/Structure Collapse (Total Risk = 24.75) is the primary human caused and fourth ranked hazardin the state. The most common type of collapse in Ohio is bridges. Several bridge collapses have occurredin recent years requiring a Gubernatorial Declaration. In 1996, a bridge collapsed in Belmont County.Ohio has over 42,000 bridges on its highways. Our state has the second largest number of bridges in thecountry.
One notable bridge collapse occurred in Ohio. On December 15, 1967, the 1000 ft. span Silver Bridgeover the Ohio River collapsed killing 46 people. The bridge connected the towns of Point Pleasant, WestVirginia and Managua, Ohio.
Water Control Structure (Dam/Levee Failure)
Water Control Structure (Dam/Levee Failure) (Total Risk = 22) is the second human caused and seventhranked hazard in the state. It is defined as a gradual or immediate collapse or failure of water impoundingsystems or structures, resulting in downstream damages.
Dams in Ohio have been divided into four classes; I, II III IV, based upon a downstream threat potential.The failure of a Class I dam would result in the probable loss of life or pose a serious hazard to health,
Page 26 of 39
property and high-value industrial or commercial properties or public utilities in the below-daminundation plain. A Class I dam is one with a volume capacity of over 5,000 acre-feet or a height greaterthan 60 feet. Although damages to Class I dams pose the greatest threat to human life, Class II and IIIunits could also pose a similar threat if affected.

The state does not currently have a means of determining downstream populations and/or potentialmonetary losses in case of failure. A review of similar events in other states illustrates the possibleconsequences: Buffalo Creek, W.Va. suffered 125 casualties and $400 million in property damages. LawnLake, Colorado incurred three casualties and $21 million in property damages. The town of Tococca,Georgia suffered 39 casualties and $30 million in property damages.
Product Defect or Contamination
Product Defect or Contamination Incident (Total Risk = 21.75) can occur as a manufacturing orproduction error; design of; or the materials used in the products content; construction, finish, packaging,warning, and/or instructions or product. In 1982 and 1986, a person contaminated Tylenol with cyanide.Several people died because of product tampering.
Terrorism (CBRNE and Cyber)
Page 27 of 39
Terrorism Incidents (Total Risk = 20) are defined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as the“…unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate, or coerce a government,civilian population, or any segment thereof in the furtherance of political and social objectives”. Thevictims of terrorism may not always, however, be the intended, or most concerned, elements of society.
Although events such as the World Trade Center Bombing/Destruction (1993 & 2001) and OklahomaCity bombing (1995) did not occur in Ohio, the threat, real or implied, to employ terrorism in this state,remains. Threats often involved the employment of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), to includebombs and pathogens, and can be directed at targets in both rural and urban-industrial settings. In 1995,an Ohio resident with ties to unorganized militias was able to order, via mail, samples of Plague bacilli.Although that attempt was thwarted, the events of 2001 show that the bio-terrorist threat remains viable.
Explosion/Fire
Explosion/Fire (Total Risk = 19.75) can occur at any time. Cleveland is noted by fire historians for theCollinwood School Fire that killed 17 as well as the Cleveland Clinic Fire that killed 123. Because of thespeed of onset of fire as well as the potential human toll, this hazard scored higher than many other hazardevents.
Reference to Hazard + Hazard Profile + Vulnerability to Hazard
Notes: 27 Hazards categories are currently identified for the Ohio EMA HIRA* = Slight variation to NFPA 1600
Hazards from NFPA 1600 NOT included for analysis in the HIRA:Ancillary Support Equipment Failure (support and lab-based equipment), Avalanche, Discrimination, Disinformation (deliberate), Dust Storm,
Electromagnetic Pulse (intensely fluctuating magnetic field), Enemy Attack/War, Famine, Financial Issues (Economic Depression, Inflation, Financial SystemCollapse), Geomagnetic Storm (temporary disturbance of atmosphere causing communications disruption among other things), Glacier, Harrassment,Hurricane, Iceberg, Insurrection (revolt), Misinformation (non-deliberate), Sabotage, Sand Storm, Strike or Labor Dispute, Tidal Surge, Tropical Cyclone,Tsunami, Water Spout, Workplace Violence, and Volcano
X = Designated for future Catastrophic planning purposes
Hazard Profile Information: (Adjusted Maximum Score: 21.5 [Maximum Score: 18])Frequency (Based on Past Gub. Dec. on 1991 through 2007 data): 1 = None; 2 = 1-2; 3 = 3-5; 4 = 6-8; 5 = 9 or moreAjusted Frequency: Same scoring as above, however score is weighted for importance by factor of 1.5;Average Response Duration: 1 = Less than one-half day; 2 = Less than one day; 3 = Less than one week; 4 = Less than
one month; 5 = Less than one yearAverage Speed of Onset: 1 = more than 24 hrs warning; 2 = 12 to 24 hrs warning; 3 = 6 to 12 hrs; 4 = minimal or no warningAverage Magnitude (Average number of counties impacted): 1 = Negligible (Less than 10); 2 = Limited (10 to 25); 3=Critical
(25 to 50); 4 = Catastrophic (More than 50)Adjusted Average Magnitude: Same scoring as above, however score is weighted for importance by factor of 1.25Adjusted Total Score: Total of the Adjusted Frequency, Average Response Duration, Average Speed of Onset, and
Adjusted Average Average Magnitude
Note: Please see the Ohio EMA Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment for more information on the profile.
Vulnerability Information:Total Potential Damage: (Maximum Score of 12)Business: 1 = Low (Shutdown of critical facilities for less than 24 hours); 2 = Medium (complete shutdown of critical facilitiesfor one week); 3 = High (complete shutdown of critical facilities for at least two weeks); 4 = Excessive (complete shutdownof critical facilities for 30 days or more)Human: 1 = Low (Minor injuries); 2 = Medium (Some injuries); 3 = High (Multiple severe injuries; 4 = Excessive (Multiple deaths)Property: 1 = Low (Less than 10% of property severly damaged); 2 = Medium (More than 10% of property severely damaged); 3 = High
(More than 25% of property damaged); 4 = Excessive (More than 50% of property severely damaged)
