Severe. The term “severe” refers to the intensity of the harm caused to the environment, independent of its geographic ambit or temporal duration. Severe environmental harm denotes damage 490 Secretary-General Report 1993, pp.7; Xxxxxxx (1997), pp.71, 107. See also, e.g. Australia, The Manual of the Law of Armed Conflict, Australian Defence Doctrine Publication, 06.4, Australian Defence Headquarters, 11 May 2006, para. 7.14 (noting that long-term had been interpreted to mean a period of decades). 491 Xxxxxxxx (2001), p.536. 492 Final Report on NATO (2000), para.15. 493 See for example Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, The Conduct of Hostilities under the Law of International Armed Conflict (Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, 2004), p.194, cited in Xxxxxxxx (2009), p.342. 494 United States, Department of Defense, “Final Report to Congress on the Conduct of the Persian Gulf War, Appendix O, The Role of the Law in War”, 10 April 1992, ILM, Vol. 31, pp.636-637. 495 Secretary-General Report 1993, p.7. going beyond typical battlefield damage.496 Examples of environmental harm that has been described as sufficiently severe include the “dam-buster” raids in World War II. The raids destroyed the Mohne and Xxxx dams in order to cut off water from the Ruhr industrial complex. They resulted in the death of more than 1300 civilians and cut off drinking water and energy to 4 million Germans.497 UNEP suggests that this element should be interpreted as “serious or significant disruption or harm to human life, natural economic resources or other assets.”498 There are distinct examples in recent times of commanders launching attacks that resulted in serious environmental harm. For example, UNEP noted that thousands of tons of fuel oil were released into the Mediterranean Sea after the bombing of the Jiyeh power station during the conflict between Israel and Lebanon in 2006.499 Similarly, the current armed conflict in Syria is having a deleterious environmental impact in Syria and Lebanon, including through increased pollution and degradation of surface, ground and marine water.500 In assessing the severity of the harm, the analysis should encompass the direct environmental harm caused by the attack as well as secondary effects. For example, when detailing the harm caused by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx’x forces setting fire to the Kuwaiti oil xxxxx, the United Nations Compensation Commission for Iraq took into account a range of factors going beyond the immediate incineration of the oil.

Severe. Important Licensed Product features are unavailable with no workaround available. Licensee’s ability to conduct business is seriously affected. Licensor will provide a workaround that resolves the request, provided that, if Licensor is unable to provide a workaround, Licensor will classify the request as an Error in the Licensed Products and work to produce a Corrected Release in accordance with the Service Level of the Licensee.
Severe. Loss of service or severely degraded network performance that affects the entire unit, an entire building, or a critical application.
Severe. Incident causing inoperative Software or preventing use of major Software functions Acknowledgment Incident analysis Patch, temporary fix Final fix Communications Less than 2 hours Within 24 hours Continuous efforts until resolved Continuous efforts until resolved Continuously through Business Hours
Severe the service is completely inaccessible or major features are not functional (This is the only level of performance defect that counts as downtime.)
Severe. Numeric Risk Rating equals 9 or 10. Trees designated as presenting a Severe risk have defects that cannot be cost-effectively or practically treated. The majority of the trees in this category have multiple and significant defects present in the trunk, crown, or critical root zone. Defective trees and/or tree parts are most likely larger than 20 inches in diameter and can be found in areas of frequent occupation, such as a main thoroughfare, congested streets, and/or near schools. Currently, these defects indicate that the tree is failing, is in immediate danger of failing, or has already partially failed. Large, dead and dying trees that are high- liability risks are included in this category. This category is reserved for the highest priority removals only and corrective action should be taken as soon as possible. ➢ Notes. Additional information regarding disease, insect, mechanical damage, etc. can be included in this field.
Severe. Events interrupt the patient’s normal daily activities and generally require systemic drug therapy or other treatment; they are usually incapacitating. To make sure there is no confusion or misunderstanding of the difference between the terms “serious “and “severe,” which are not synonymous, the following note of clarification is provided. The term “severe” is often used to describe the intensity (severity) of a specific event (as in mild, moderate, or severe myocardial infarction); the event itself, however, maybe of relatively minor medical significance (such as severe headache). This is not the same as “serious,” which is based on patient/event outcome or action criteria usually associated with events that pose a threat to a patient's life or functioning. Seriousness (not severity) serves as a guide for defining regulatory reporting obligations.
Severe. A Class 1 Event is likely to impact all end-users and the extent of the impact is likely to be severe. An example of a Class 1 Event is a total system outage (i.e., complete end-user inaccessibility of all applications of the hosted offering or the inability to perform critical functions in a number of applications).
Severe. A Severe Network Issue is the loss of 5% or more of the access points in the Wi-Fi Network, or the impairment of a Licensor-operated component that results in significant inconvenience to T-Mobile’s customers.
Severe. Any Error that causes or results in: (i) functional inconsistency across the System; and/or (ii)
