Training Objectives• At the completion of this lesson you will be
able to:
– Explain the purpose of a Preliminary Damage Assessment.
– Use job aid to prepare a needs assessment report.
– Distinguish the three types of damage assessments.
– Discuss reporting responsibilities.
3
Post Disaster Assessments
• Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA).
• Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA).
• Joint Preliminary Damage Assessment:– (A Local, State, and Federal team).
4
Disaster Dollar Threshold
• What is the 2010 dollar thresholds for a disaster declaration?– $1.29 per capita statewide, or $3.23 per capita in
a parish for PA.
• What is the basis for a change in the thresholds?– They change based on the consumer price
index.
5
Rapid Needs Assessment• What is the purpose of a rapid needs
assessment? – RNA’s determine the scope of the disaster,
assess what resources are necessary to conduct life-saving and life sustaining operations during the emergency response phase of the disaster, and provide officials with quick and accurate information to determine if state or federal assistance is required.
6
Rapid Needs Assessment• RNA provides the first description of the type
and extent of damages sustained by the community.
• Determine the scope:– How bad is it in terms of infrastructure (COOP)?– What areas are affected?– How many people are affected?– What are the risks to life, health & safety?– What is the status of lifeline services?
7
Rapid Needs Assessment• The following information needs to be
provided to the parish president & GOHSEP within the first 12-72 hours following the incident:– What is needed.– When is it needed.– Where it is needed.– How much is needed.– For how long will it be needed.
8
RNA Categories of Data• What categories of information should be
addressed by the RNA team? – Medical resources and needs.– Mass Care.– Infrastructure.– Fire services, search and rescue.– HAZMAT.
9
RNA Categories of Data• Infrastructure:
– The extent of debris removal to conduct essential life-saving operations.
– Debris, wind damage or flooding overall impact to:• Critical infrastructure & government buildings.• Public works facilities.• Water treatment and distribution systems.• Sewage treatment plants.• Power generation facilities.• Communication links.• Roads and bridges.
11
RNA Categories of Data• Medical resources?
– Health and medical needs of victims.– What health care facilities are functional?– Information on doctors offices and pharmacies.– The potential requirement for outside medical
assistance.
Note: Federal outside medical assistance includes Public Health Services, Disaster Medical Support Assistance Teams (DMAT) and Medical Support Units.
12
RNA Categories of Data• Mass Care:
– Local capability for bulk distribution of supplies (PODS).
– Mass shelter requirements.– Mass feeding requirements.
Note: the American Red Cross has the congressional mandate to provide many of these services during a natural disaster.
13
RNA Categories of Data• Fire, Search, and Rescue:
– Fire suppression and search and rescue needs.– State and local mutual aid capabilities.– The status of critical facilities that support these services.
14
RNA Categories of Data• Hazardous Material:
– The effects or potential effects of hazardous material releases on facilities and the general population.
– Areas that are unsafe or potentially unsafe with hazardous materials released as a secondary event.
15
Preliminary Damage Assessment
• What is the purpose of the preliminary damage assessment?
– The PDA is a specific process used to gather supporting information for the Governors request for a Presidential Disaster declaration.
16
Preliminary Damage Assessment
• PDA’s have a broader scope and are conducted over a longer time span:– The PDA is a specific process used to gather
supporting information for the Governors request for a Presidential Disaster declaration.
– A team of local, State, and Federal personnel conducts the PDA. (Don’t wait on state and Federal!)
17
Preliminary Damage Assessment
• PDA’s may take several days to weeks to complete.
• Determines Joint Field Office staffing requirements and DRC locations.
• Documentation starts during PDA and is important during the several years it takes to close disaster project work sheets.
18
Preliminary Damage Assessment
• Step 1: Collect critical information.– Stafford Act– Louisiana Disaster Act.– Current executive orders.– Current polices, laws and regulations.
19
Preliminary Damage Assessment
• Step 2: Determine if you should request a Joint PDA:– Collect damage information:
• RNA reports• Parish spreadsheet data summary.• ARC onsite damage assessment summary.
– Determine if incident is of such magnitude to waive PDA.
20
Preliminary Damage Assessment
• Step 3: Make a request to GOHSEP if JPDA is warranted.
• Step 4: Prepare for the PDA:– Collect supplies and contact information.– Review the information.– Assemble PDA Teams.– Conduct PDA briefing.
21
Public Assistance Eligibility
• Report PA damage by FEMA category of work.
• There are seven FEMA work categories:– 2 Emergency categories– 5 Permanent work categories
22
PDA – FEMA CategoriesThe parish will first estimate emergency response costs in the following FEMA categories:

B: Emergency Protective Measures
Measures taken before, during, and after a disaster to save lives, protect public health and safety, and protect improved public and private property
•Emergency Operations Center activation•Warning devices (barricades, signs, and announcements)•Search and rescue•Security forces (police and guards)•Construction of temporary levees•Provision of shelters or emergency care•Sandbagging • Bracing/shoring damaged structures•Provision of food, water, ice and other essential needs•Emergency repairs • Emergency demolition•Removal of health and safety hazards

PDA Tips
• Identify a team leader dedicated to the PDA.• Be flexible and have backup team members.• As new information is provided, continue to
update your damage list prior to the joint PDA.
• Provide a map of facility locations. • Identify a place to meet for the PDA.
Common PDA Deficiencies• Community has not
been prearranged into sectors.
• Characteristics of the damage areas not known.
• Not conducting pre-deployment briefings.
• Damage assessment team members not pre-determined or trained.
59
Damage Assessment Safety• Assess potentially
dangerous sites from a distance.
• Travel in pairs if possible.
• Maintain constant communication.
• Take go-kit! • Inspect critical areas

• Use the damage level guide.• Destroyed and Major structures will usually have
compromised structural components.• Destroyed, Major, and Minor structures are
uninhabitable.• Choose the higher level of damage when in
doubt between two levels.• Provide descriptions with the numbers that will
help visualize disaster impacts.

• Return completed Assessment Forms to Local OHSEP.
• Add disaster-specific comments or observations .
• Coordinator compiles information and submits to GOHSEP and FEMA though JFO.
Submitting Information to GOHSEP
• Cumulative IDA summary data via local emergency coordinator,
• Use the on-line form in WebEOC.
• Submit Cumulative IDA results form to GOHSEP Region II Coordinator.
91
