Photos are one of the best ways to demonstrate the extent of damage sustained from an incident. Incident commanders, insurance adjusters, FEMA representatives, and property owners will all get a better idea of conditions with photographs. Keep in mind that you are preserving evidence, not winning photography awards. The built-in camera from a mobile device will capture details. Also, the auto-generated watermark will add a timestamp and coordinates to each photo that will link your photos to the location. | Photos are one of the best ways to demonstrate the extent of damage sustained from an incident.

Whenever possible, it is best to take a photo from the Survey123 app instead of uploading one from your photo library. When taken from the app, the photo is stamped with metadata and is also taken in a size that is palatable to the record (Survey123 will not accept an attachment larger than 10 MB, which is not much). | |||

The DAMM began as an idea proposed in November 2020 by Brian Patrick Brady, a GIS consultant acquainted with members of Arnold Creek NET. With feedback from NET focus groups, Brian developed several versions of the DAMM before releasing a working version in 2021. Version 6 is available starting in 2023 and brings new functionality to DAMM including: auto-populating Fire Management Areas (FMA), annotated Images, Spanish Translation and other design elements to improve the user experience.

DAMM was first used in an emergency deployment by NET volunteers during the January 2024 winter storm. NET volunteers completed neighborhood-based assessments of building damage and piped the data to Portland's Bureau of Emergency Services and to Team Rubicon to facilitate them offering assistance to homeowners. | |||
The name of the DAMM was coined and suggested by Pleasant Valley NET volunteer Steve Mitchell. Since Jeremy Van Keuren basically has the brain of an eleven-year-old, that's the name that stuck. | The name of the DAMM was coined and suggested by Pleasant Valley NET volunteer Steve Mitchell.
