"severe damage" - which precludes further use of structure, facility, or object 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 was intended (OFDA) (Material II - IDNDR, 1992)
