PBEM recommends that planned use of the DAMM appear in all [[NET Operations Plans]] with an [[Team Leader|Incident Team Leader]] assigning at least one or two volunteers to begin making reports with it after the acute phase of disaster response has passed (probably 24 hours after an earthquake, for example). Reports should include undamaged property; in the survey, there is an option to indicate up front that a volunteer observes no damage. | ||

# '''For Team Leader led NET drills:''' PBEM recommends Team Leaders drill their team in use of the DAMM at least four times a year. [[JVK: put in subheading about a DAMM drill.]] Drills will prepare NETs not only in quick use of the DAMM; but, more importantly, train volunteers to see their neighborhoods through a disaster response lens. DAMM is always turned "on", so a TL can drill their team at any time or date in the year. | # '''For Team Leader led NET drills:''' PBEM recommends Team Leaders drill their team in use of the DAMM at least four times a year.

# '''In the immediate response period of an earthquake:''' An Incident Team Leader (ITL) should detail volunteers (NETs and/or SUVs) to use the DAMM to make reports to the ECC as soon as practicable and more immediate priorities are resolved. NET Operations Plans should reflect at which [[response period]] the team plans to make reports. | # '''In the immediate response period of an earthquake:''' An Incident Team Leader (ITL) should detail volunteers (NETs and/or SUVs) to use the DAMM to make reports to the ECC as soon as practicable and more immediate priorities are resolved.
