Damage Assessment App
A handy assessment solution is critical in evaluating damages caused by natural hazards. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides a streamlined manual for managing post-disaster damage. This Damage Assessment App is based on FEMA’s wind damage classification manual but can be customized to meet other post-hazard damage assessment requirements and guidelines. Use the GPS, photo-capture, video-recording features and more to gather live damage assessment data and ensure the safety of the community. This form works in both on and offline environments.
