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. The [https://pdx-net.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html PDX-NET] ArcGIS Online account is hosted through a nonprofit organization, not the City of Portland. | The DAMM began as an idea proposed in November 2020 by Brian Patrick Brady, a GIS consultant acquainted with members of Arnold Creek NET.

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.
