The Damage Assessment Mapping Module (DAMM) is one of the most important '''<s><u>communication tools</u></s>''' available to NET volunteers. The tool promotes accuracy, consistency, and efficiency in collecting post-disaster data for use in high-level decision making.

Observations inputted to the DAMM via the [https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-survey123/overview Survey123] app are relayed to an Operational Dashboard (fig. 1) displayed to emergency response planners in Portland’s Emergency Coordination Center (ECC). In turn, ECC personnel will use the data to assemble a highly detailed situational awareness picture and allocate response resources accordingly and (where possible) expeditiously. Data inputted to the DAMM will also be critical for applying for federal relief aid and other resources in the aftermath of a major disaster.
