The Damage Assessment Mapping Module (DAMM) is one of the most important '''<s><u>communication tools</u></s>''' available to NET volunteers. The tool promotes accuracy, consistency, and efficiency in collecting post-disaster data for use in high-level decision making. | The Damage Assessment Mapping Module (DAMM) is one of the most important '''<s><u>communication tools</u></s>''' available to NET volunteers.

Observations inputted to the DAMM via the [https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-survey123/overview Survey123] app are relayed to an Operational Dashboard (fig. 1) displayed to emergency response planners in Portland’s Emergency Coordination Center (ECC). In turn, ECC personnel will use the data to assemble a highly detailed situational awareness picture and allocate response resources accordingly and (where possible) expeditiously. Data inputted to the DAMM will also be critical for applying for federal relief aid and other resources in the aftermath of a major disaster. | Observations inputted to the DAMM via the [https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-survey123/overview Survey123] app are relayed to an Operational Dashboard (fig. 1) displayed to emergency response planners in Portland’s Emergency Coordination Center (ECC).

The field structure and interface of the DAMM is designed for quick and detailed reporting. Though the number of fields might intimidate a new user, note that most of them are "selection" fields which often require no more than a "yes" or "no", with one answer already selected as a default. With practice, a typical volunteer will complete a single site report in only a few minutes. | The field structure and interface of the DAMM is designed for quick and detailed reporting.
