Book excerpt: Results indicate that damage assessment procedures vary from agency to agency, but the desired end result is consistent: report damage within a specific time frame. The Federal Emergency Management Agency and the American Red Cross have similar damage assessment models that agencies could modify when developing their own damage assessment program. These agencies also reinforce the fact that a policy should be in place with trained personnel to perform initial damage assessments, which includes proper documentation. The process begins with the initial damage assessment information being forwarded to local agencies, State authorities, and ultimately the Federal government resulting in assistance.
