'''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 [[NET Form 1]] for damage assessment. As a key operational tool for NET, the DAMM serves two important functions: | '''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)]].

# '''For Team Leader led NET drills:''' PBEM recommends Team Leaders drill their team in use of the DAMM at least four times a year. [[JVK: put in subheading about a DAMM drill.]] Drills will prepare NETs not only in quick use of the DAMM; but, more importantly, train volunteers to see their neighborhoods through a disaster response lens. DAMM is always turned "on", so a TL can drill their team at any time or date in the year. | # '''For Team Leader led NET drills:''' PBEM recommends Team Leaders drill their team in use of the DAMM at least four times a year.

Side panels give a count of incident types, while the main counter (in red) displays the total number of records received. | As volunteers submit observations, the dashboard will automatically tabulate and summarize the data.
