Damage Assessment can be used to conduct initial damage assessments after a natural disaster or catastrophic incident.
Initial damage assessments are used by local officials to understand the severity and magnitude of damage to public and private property after an incident. In some cases, they may also contribute to a Joint Preliminary Damage Assessment conducted by Federal, State and Local officials after a disaster declaration. Information collected during these assessments is analyzed to determine if the incident-related costs and damages qualify for any State and/or Federal assistance. Any delays in the assessments could make an organization ineligible for State or Federal assistance. Damage Assessment is typically implemented by emergency management agencies that want to quickly understand the impact of a natural disaster, or catastrophic incident, and immediately assign resources to appropriate response and recovery activities.
The Damage Assessment solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you collect damage reports, assign initial damage assessments, monitor the impact of a disaster on the community, brief internal stakeholders, and share information with the public.
