'''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. ECC personnel can immediately use information sent to them from DAMM to allocate resources for response and recovery. Volunteers can document assessments with the DAMM even in the absence of internet service, though internet service is required to transmit the reports completed by a user.

As a key operational tool for NET, the DAMM serves two important functions:


Every NET volunteer and [[ATV]] with a smartphone should download the software onto their device and know how to use it in the field.
# It will send actionable and detailed data to the ECC in the aftermath of an earthquake; and,
# Drills with the DAMM during [[blue skies]] will prompt NET volunteers to become more familiar with their neighborhoods and develop the muscle memory needed to gather data.
