The Damage Assessment Form is the most essential form in a volunteer’s kit. A volunteer uses the form to record damage observed in a neighborhood (such as fires, utility hazards, structural damage, injuries and casualties, and available access) while moving through the area to the NET Staging Area. Upon arriving at the NET Staging Area, the volunteer turns the Damage Assessment Form in to the Incident Team Leader. The ITL then uses all the Damage Assessment Forms to prioritize plans and action items (reflected on [https://volunteerpdx.net/index.php/NET_Incident_Command_System_(ICS)_Forms#NET_Form_4:_Assignment_Briefing Form 4: Team Leader’s Assignment Tracking Log]).

Thanks to insight from drills and exercises, NET volunteers redesigned this form to facilitate faster radio communications. Those redesigns are represented below in Forms 1b-1, 1b-2, and 1c. Use of these versions of the forms are ''optional'' and to the discretion of an ITL.
Thanks to insight from drills and exercises, NET volunteers redesigned this form to support consolidation of information at staging areas and to facilitate more efficient radio communications. Those redesigns are represented below in Forms 1B-1, 1B-2, and 1C. Use of these versions of the forms are ''optional'' and to the discretion of an ITL.

As noted to the left, volunteers can download a blank version of this form as well as a "mock" filled out version of the form to demonstrate how volunteers fill out the form.

'''NET Form 1B-2: Individual Situation Report by Dwelling''' has rows representing a dwelling and columns representing categories of potential response issues. It has a row at bottom for totaling the number of each type of issue observed. This version might be the better choice when a team makes a visual inspection of a series of dwellings and want to record their assessment of each dwelling separately.

The procedure for transmitting Form 1C is for a neighborhood ARO to contact a regional “subnet control”. The subnet control gathers information from all teams within a region and transmits that information to the ECC. With advance training and practice, reading a Form 1C to the subnet control is a faster process.{{#ev:youtube|KPniq_hMVz0|350|right|'''''Video: Using Net Form 1C - Team Situation Report with Totals'''''|frame}}

The Patient Treatment Area Record is a specialized form intended to track the condition of patients placed in a patient treatment area. It is filled out by a volunteer (CERT/NET or SUV) detailed to supervise the treatment area. Completed Treatment Area Records are turned in to the Documentation Unit.


This form does not allow for a great deal of detail on victims’ conditions. This is acceptable for an immediate, short-term response when the presumption that emergency medical response will soon be en route. However, if volunteers anticipate that professional responders will not be available for some time, a designated volunteer should consider tracking treatment area patients using this form as a "dashboard" while tracking the condition of individual patients using [https://volunteerpdx.net/index.php/NET_Incident_Command_System_(ICS)_Forms#NET_Form_5b:_Individual_Treatment_Record Form 5b: Individual Treatment Record].

===[[Media:ICS 201 Exp NET version fillable.pdf|Experimental NET Version of ICS 201 Incident Briefing]]===
This is a form that can either be filled in with paper or pencil or filled in using Adobe Acrobat Reader.  The org chart on page 3 has been customized to be useful to NET Incident Team Leaders.
This form was used as a Shift Report (or Operational Period Report) in the Fall 2024 [https://portlandprepares.org/net-resources/deployment/ Citywide Deployment Exercise]. At the top of the exercise, the team received a completed ICS 201, ostensibly from the (simulated) previous shift. At the end of the exercise, the team completed its own ICS 201, to inform the (hypothetical) incoming shift. This use of the form was helpful, but still in development.

===[[Media:ICS-214 Unit Log Fillable.pdf|Experimental NET Version of ICS 214 Unit Log]]===
This is a form that can either be filled in with paper or pencil or filled in using Adobe Acrobat Reader. It can be used by NET Subnet Controllers and other radio operators who want to log their activities separately from their formal traffic. When this form is used, sending and receiving NET Form 8 should still be logged on NET Form 6. It is the same or similar to the ICS 214 used by Multnomah Count ARES.
