'''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.

Portland NET may occasionally update the data entry form due to a change in policy, or to add improvements to an existing form. If a new version of the assessment form is published, you will have to remove older versions from your mobile device. If you attempt to collect data into an outdated survey form, the data will become orphaned, it is important to use the correct version of a survey form. Your NET Team leader will instruct you if you need to delete your local form and re-download an updated version from the cloud. | Portland NET may occasionally update the data entry form due to a change in policy, or to add improvements to an existing form.
