'''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:

#'''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 after more immediate priorities are resolved. NET Operations Plans should reflect at which [[Operational Period]] the team plans to make reports.

#'''During the recovery phase in the aftermath of an earthquake:''' When the NET resolves immediate response priorities, volunteers should switch the "incident type" in the survey to "Census" and gather data on neighborhood status and needs.
