Damage Assessment

ArcGIS Hub provides damage assessment resources to local officials, public safety staff, and volunteers so that they can quickly assess damage severity. The preliminary damage assessment helps staff rapidly capture damage reports, while the more detailed Individual Assistance and Public Assistance surveys collect information required by FEMA.

As public damage reports are submitted, the Damage Assessment Operations app can be used by emergency management staff to manage, monitor, and administer damage assessments. The information submitted can then act as a starting point for initial damage assessments conducted by government officials.

Damage information is a valuable resource used by many agencies to make critical decisions related to recovery resources. The Damage Assessment solution includes a series of tools that help you manage incident information. Create provision field users, share information with partner agencies, and export or report incident data to state and federal partners.
