'''The Damage Assessment Mapping Module (DAMM)''' for Portland NET is a mobile device-based tool to document and map impacts of a disaster and electronically transmit that information to the [[Portland Emergency Coordination Center (ECC)]]. It is powered by [https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-survey123/overview Survey123] for ArcGIS. It is, essentially, an electronic version of [https://volunteerpdx.net/index.php/NET_Incident_Command_System_(ICS)_Forms#NET_Form_1:_Damage_Assessment_Form NET Form 1] for damage assessment. As a key operational tool for NET, the DAMM serves two important functions:

'''Maintain situational awareness.''' Pay close attention to your surroundings at all times. Take time to look up from your device while entering data.  It is especially important as you walk from one location to the next that you focus on your surroundings to assure that you stay safe while doing field observations. If making observations at a particularly active scene, have a buddy with you as a spotter (NETs use the buddy system!)
