In some situations, depending upon the extent of the storm surge from a particular storm event, a flood hazard area may be tidal in the 100-year storm, but fluvial in more frequent storm events.

Area of special flood hazard means the land in the floodplain within a community subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year.
Household Hazardous Waste means any waste material derived from households (including single
nuclear energy hazard means the radioactive, toxic, explosive, or other hazardous properties of radioactive material;
Special Hazard Loss Any Realized Loss suffered by a Mortgaged Property on account of direct physical loss, but not including (i) any loss of a type covered by a hazard insurance policy or a flood insurance policy required to be maintained with respect to such Mortgaged Property pursuant to Section 3.10 to the extent of the amount of such loss covered thereby, or (ii) any loss caused by or resulting from:
