The Storm Damage Assessment app is used by EMA to collect data electronically. By using this app, EMA teams can eliminate the need for paper and for entering data in a computer at a later time. Photos, sound recordings, messages, and GPS coordinates may be submitted with the data. The data is accessed online through a secure web server and can be transferred to a spread sheet. Agencies who annual contract with CommCenters will have access to this information and will be able to view, print and download their own data at anytime or place.

If any State Emergency Management Agency wants to use this app as a statewide tool and would like the county agency to have access to a statewide solution, CommCenters is willing to work with you so as to have a central data collection protocol and retrieval website system.
