The number of natural disasters and the cost of the recovery have been increasing everywhere.\u00a0 Assessing damage in a timely fashion helps local officials understand the severity and magnitude of the incident and its effect on public and private property. \u00a0 Information collected during these assessments is analyzed to determine if the incident-related costs and damages qualify for any state or federal assistance. Any delays could make an organization ineligible for state or federal assistance.<\/p>\n

The United States Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has two programs that provide assistance when a\u00a0natural disaster or catastrophic event occurs<\/a>. These programs supplement state, local and tribal government efforts to provide emergency services that lessen the impact of a disaster. Although many incidents don\u2019t result in a state or federal emergency declaration, some degree of assistance is still required.<\/p>\n

On June 30, 2021, a new version of the Damage Assessment<\/a> solution was released. \u00a0This new and improved solution aligns with FEMA programs and includes a comprehensive set of capabilities that help collect damage reports, assign initial damage assessments, monitor the impact of a disaster on the community, brief internal stakeholders, and share information with the public. \u00a0The new Damage Assessment solution can be used for declared or non-declared emergencies to quickly understand the impact of a disaster and start the recovery process.<\/p>\n

Understand community impact<\/h2>\n

During an emergency, residents need to understand the impact of the incident on their community and how recovery activities may affect them. The Damage Assessment ArcGIS Hub Site can be used by emergency management agencies to share damage assessment information with those that have been impacted.\u00a0 In addition, damage reports can be solicited from the community to better gauge the severity of the damage.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1274182,"id":1274182,"title":"Damage Assessment Hub","filename":"CommunityImpactDA_800Width-1.gif","filesize":1075825,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CommunityImpactDA_800Width-1.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-solutions\/local-government\/enhanced-damage-assessment-solution-released\/communityimpactda_800width-2","alt":"An image of Damage Assessment Hub to engage the community.","author":"27921","description":"Damage Assessment Hub","caption":"Use the Damage Assessment Hub to communicate the extent of a disaster with your community and collect resident damage reports.","name":"communityimpactda_800width-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1274162,"date":"2021-06-28 14:37:27","modified":"2021-07-01 12:59:44","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":800,"height":530,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CommunityImpactDA_800Width-1-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CommunityImpactDA_800Width-1.gif","medium-width":394,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CommunityImpactDA_800Width-1.gif","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":509,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CommunityImpactDA_800Width-1.gif","large-width":800,"large-height":530,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CommunityImpactDA_800Width-1.gif","1536x1536-width":800,"1536x1536-height":530,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CommunityImpactDA_800Width-1.gif","2048x2048-width":800,"2048x2048-height":530,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CommunityImpactDA_800Width-1-702x465.gif","card_image-width":702,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/CommunityImpactDA_800Width-1.gif","wide_image-width":800,"wide_image-height":530}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Administer damage assessments<\/h2>\n

Damage information is a valuable resource used by many agencies and collaboration with other agencies is critical in making informed decisions. \u00a0To support collaboration and data sharing, the Damage Assessment solution includes a series of tools that helps manage incident information, provision field users, share information with partner agencies, and export or report incident data. \u00a0These tools can be accessed from the Damage Assessment Operations app and used throughout an incident.<\/p>\n

Note that the March 2025 release also includes a new Emergency Debris Management<\/a> solution. \u00a0It complements the Damage Assessment solution and helps expedite initial debris clearance, assess volume, and monitor the removal of disaster debris accumulated on roads, right-of-ways, and public facilities.<\/p>\n
