The Documentation Unit should have a document box as part of their basic kit. The box is used for storing both blank and completed documents, and is durable enough to keep them safe and dry. PBEM will purchase one document box for a team; to request one, the Team Leader should use the request survey HERE and indicate that they need a document box.

Document boxes come in different shapes and sizes. A Team Leader or Documentation Unit should research what they think they need and make that request to PBEM. Document boxes provided by PBEM will be asset-tracked and the Team Leader is accountable to periodically confirming that the team still possesses it.

The Damage Assessment Mapping Module (DAMM) is a smartphone-based survey tool designed similarly to NET Form 1. In the aftermath of a disaster PBEM expects NETs to use the DAMM if possible both before and after internet service returns.   
The Damage Assessment Mapping Module (DAMM) is a smartphone-based survey tool designed similarly to NET Form 1. In the aftermath of a disaster PBEM expects NETs to use the DAMM if possible both before and after internet service returns.   


This raises some questions, however, because an ITL will not have access to information inputted to the DAMM. PBEM recommends the following course of action: ITLs should order the prioritization of paper form use for damage assessments (NET Form 1) and order the Documentation Unit input completed NET Form 1s into the DAMM as soon as possible. Doing so will help ensure the ECC receives the situational awareness needed to make resource decisions.   
This raises some questions, however, because an ITL will not have access to information inputted to the DAMM during a disaster (the dashboard is hidden from public view to protect survivors).

Once the response moves into the early Recovery stage, NETs should use the DAMM exclusively and turn away from paper forms.

Line 125: Line 125:
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]).

Volunteers may use these versions as alternatives to [https://volunteerpdx.net/index.php/NET_Incident_Command_System_(ICS)_Forms#NET_Form_1:_Damage_Assessment_Form NET ICS Form 1: Damage Assessment] if their Incident Team Leader approves. PBEM encourages NETs to test out the different versions of the forms in exercises. ITLs can direct teams to use 1b-1 or 1b-2 based on the type of search they are conducting or whether they are observing single-family buildings, apartments, or condominiums.

The two alternatives (1b-1 Report by Category and 1b-2 Report by Dwelling) offer similar categories of damage as the original Form 1 but represented by rows instead of columns. 
'''NET Form 1B-1: Individual Situation Report by Category''' has a column tallying each type of damage and a column for recording the addresses where the damage was observed. This version may be an appropriate choice where there appears to be many cases of certain types of damage and the locations of such damage needs to be recorded quickly (e.g. flooding created by a leaking water main).

'''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.

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.
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].

These forms are used by teams to communicate with the Portland ECC and other teams. For example, if a NET ITL for a particular team wished to ask a question to the NET Coordinator at the ECC, they would put the question on a Form 8 and pass it to the team's ARO. The ARO would notify their subnet control operator of the need to route the Form 8 message as well as precedence of the message. When the control operator gives the "go-ahead" the ARO would read the message and the control operator would transcribe it. The control operator would then route the message to the ECC radio room. When a reply becomes available, the radio room would route it back to the subnet control operator for delivery to the originating team's ARO, who would pass it to the team's ITL.

The description of Form 8, should include, "The person filling out the form should assign a precedence by inserting one of the following words or phrases at the beginning of the subject line followed by a colon.

Ultimately, the ITL is responsible for the content and precedence of the Form 8. If they choose to delegate that task, the ITL should approve the form before passing it to the ARO for sending it on.


These forms are simple; the format makes completing them self-explanatory. However, volunteers should practice composing messages easy and quick to read over the air. For example, you should never recite Shakespeare's ''Hamlet'' over the air on amateur radio. But you could write the following message for the ARO to recite:

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.
