Damage Assessment Plan
Damage Assessment
Purpose:
Da age assessment is the process of identifying and quantifying damages that occurs as a result
of a isaster. The objective of damage assessment is to provide situational awareness to the EOC
abo t the state of critical (must be in place for recovery to begin) and essential (must be in place
for recovery to continue) functions to help facilitate the EOC move from response into recovery
and decisions to appropriately direct resources and teams. Additionally, the damage assessment
results are used as the initial basis to justify or determine state or federal assistance.
Scoi$e:
Immeediately following, and even while a disaster or major emergency is occurring, it will be
necessary to quickly and as accurately as possible assess the damages and impacts.
Situation Reports:
Immediately following a disaster (within 8 hours), it will be the responsibility of the Eagle
County Emergency Manager to develop a local situation report.
1 Situation reports provide an overview of areas within the County that have sustained
damage and will need to be surveyed to determine the extent of damage.
0 Situation reports shall include at a minimum; names of jurisdiction(s) involved, casualty
estimates, areas of reported damage, probable extent of damage, category of damages
(residential, business, public infrastructure), impacts to critical facilities /services, local
and mutual aid resources deployed, and outside assistance needed and/or anticipated.
1 Critical facilities (e.g., hospital, airport) and special needs populations should be
contacted directly to determine degree of damage.
+ Situation reports provide a "footprint" of locally damaged areas to that will need to be
prioritized and assessed in more detail.
Situation reports shall be posted on WEBEOC (a statewide web base information sharing
tool) to keep the State Division of Emergency Management (CDEM) and surrounding
counties informed on the current Eagle County situation.
Larger, more severe disasters require less detail to support a disaster declaration than
smaller situations. •
Damage assessment is conducted in three phases:
Windshield Damage Assessment (WDA):
This assessment begins immediately after the incident occurs. It is conducted by first responders
(EMS, fire service, law enforcement, public works, etc.) and helps to determine life safety issues
and identify the hardest hit areas. Responding resources should report type, extent and general
location of damage to the Vail Public Safety Communications Center (VPSCC). It will usually be
the •ispatcher who first recognizes a disaster situation and begins the assessment process by
' 0
requesting activation of the Eagle County EOC. The EOC activation will relieve the VPSCC of
the responsibility for resource management and it will begin the process of damage assessment
with the goal of quickly initiating a disaster declaration when applicable.
Initial Damage Assessment (IDA):
The initial damage assessment focuses on damages to residences, businesses and public
infrastructure. This is the first attempt to assign a dollar amount to a disaster situation. Following
the determination that a disaster situation exists, and the identification of affected areas, the
damage assessment team(s) will respond into the disaster area armed with address maps and/or
GPS units to conduct the initial damage assessment. The initial damage assigns a simple
percentage of damage to affected infrastructure at a 10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 %, 50 %, 60 %, 70 %, 80 %,
90% or 100% threshold based upon what can be observed from a safe location. This assessment
information shall be provided to the Assessor's Office for assignment of dollar values and to the
GIS Department (towns and county will work cooperatively) for damage mapping purposes. This
assessment also determines whether more detailed damage assessments are necessary and
identifies those areas where further efforts should be concentrated.
Preliminary damage assessment (PDA):
This PDA is done to verify the initial damage assessment (especially for state /federal assistance)
and gather additional information on areas or functions that are going to require additional
resources so recovery can be prioritized. Engineering departments shall be the key resources in
order to provide more detailed assessment which guides the recovery process.
Damage Assessment Teams:
A Damage Assessment Coordinator (Assessor's Office ?) shall be appointed by the EOC
Manager. The Damage Assessment Coordinator shall appoint teams to perform the initial damage
assessment. Suggested candidates for these teams include building officials, parks and recreation
employees, public works employees, utility providers, real estate appraisers, American Red
Cross, chamber of commerce, facility managers and other volunteers.
Each Damage Assessment Team shall have a leader who is responsible for team safety,
assignments and overall team coordination as well as reporting results to the Damage Assessment
Coordinator. Each team should include assessment specialist (2 -3) who are responsible for
evaluations at each site to determine damage levels and a data recorder who is responsible for
recording damage data on forms and compiling summary reports which are included in the
damage assessment kits.
Damage Assessment Teams will:
• Conduct site by site assessments, unless otherwise instructed by the Damage Assessment
Coordinator.
• Report any unsafe conditions to the EOC.
• Report severe damage with no emergency services on site.
• NOT discuss the damage assessment with the public or the media.
• NOT comment on possible assistance.
• Maintain communications and keep the EOC informed.
Majr Disaster Declaration usually follows these steps:
• Local Government Responds, supplemented by neighboring communities and volunteer
agencies. If overwhelmed, turn to the state for assistance;
• The State Responds with state resources, such as the National Guard and state agencies;
• Damage Assessment by local, state, federal, and volunteer organizations determines
losses and recovery needs;
•1 A Major Disaster Declaration is requested by the governor, based on the damage
assessment, and an agreement to commit state funds and resources to the long -term
recovery;
FEMA Evaluates the request and recommends action to the White House based on the
disaster, the local community and the state's ability to recover;
• The President approves the request or FEMA informs the governor it has been denied.
This decision process could take a few hours or several weeks depending on the nature of
the disaster.
Further details regarding the Disaster Declaration process can be found in Appendix H.
Damage Assessment Team Guidelines
Damage Assessment Teams will be deployed to assigned sites /areas to perform damage
assessment as prescribed in the operations briefing.
• Each Damage Assessment Team shall have a leader who is responsible for team safety,
assignments and overall team coordination as well as reporting results to the Damage
Assessment Coordinator.
• Teams shall maintain communications with the Eagle County EOC and keep the Damage
Assessment Coordinator apprised of progress.
• Team Leaders shall make contact and coordinate activities with the Incident Commander
operating in that area.
• Assessments will be conducted street -by- street and property -by- property unless otherwise
instructed by the Damage Assessment Coordinator.
• If teams encounter conditions that will make it unsafe to perform their assigned damage
assessments, the team leader will report these conditions to the Damage Assessment
Coordinator and await instructions on how to proceed.
• If areas of severe damage are encountered and public safety personnel are not on scene,
the team leader shall report the situation to the EOC immediately, so that emergency
personnel can be dispatched to protect life and property.
• Teams that encounter members of the public or media should not discuss potential or
anticipated damage assessment outcomes. Teams should not volunteer commitments to
the public concerning disaster response or assistance.
• Upon completion of assigned inspections, teams will report to the local EOC and provide
all data collected to the Damage Assessment Coordinator.
Estimating Damage:
• With different individuals assessing damage and different agencies applying the
information to their own needs, it is important to establish consistent standards in
estimating damage. Estimating damage costs, as described in these guidelines, will
generally relate to residential dwellings, small business facilities and other smaller
structures. These procedures will usually not be appropriate for estimating damage costs
to public facilities.
• A ten level damage scale will be used to estimate the level of damage to a particular
property.
10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100%
Least most
severe severe
• 100% is the most severe damage, and 10% is the least severe. This scale provides specific
guidance in determining damage levels and was compiled using resources from federal,
•
state and private agencies. It is designed to help make a somewhat subjective process
more objective and consistent across different assessors.
The ten level scale can be used to provide:
o a damage description
o guidance concerning the structure's habitability
o things for damage assessors to look for in evaluating a structure
o water level assessments when flooding is involved. (Note: water levels are
general guides. Flood damage intensifies with the force of the water, duration of
the flood and the degree of contaminants and sediments in the water.)
o an indication of how FEMA and the ARC would categorize the damage to a
structure in each damage level (i.e. Destroyed, Major, Minor, Affected
Habitable) and given definitions four these four damage categories.
In general do not enter a building. It should not be necessary to enter a building in order to assess
the damage level.
Assessors must consider all areas of damage to a structure in deciding an overall damage level for
the elitire property.
If a damaged area appears to border between two levels, choose the higher or more severe level.
Estiiiating Dollar Amount of Damage:
Estimated Dollar Damage = [Damage Level x .1] x [Pre- Disaster market value x 1.1]
1. Multiply the pre- disaster market value of structure by 1.1 or 110% of pre- disaster
value.
2. Multiple the percent of damage by 110% of pre- disaster market value.
Example:
Pre- disaster market value is $100,000 and damage is estimated at 70%
$100,000 x 1.1 = $110,000
Estimated Dollar damage is .7 x $110,000 or $77,000
Estimating Damage to Contents:
Estimating damages to contents will assist the family service caseworkers as well as
increase the total damage cost estimates. Contents will include food, clothing, furniture
and major appliances. An estimation of probable damage to contents is obtained from
asking occupants of the property, if at all possible.
