Rapid Damage Assessment Toolkit

The Rapid Damage Assessment Toolkit is a set of tools and methods used by emergency responders to quickly evaluate the extent of damage after a disaster, such as an earthquake or flood. It helps them gather essential information about affected areas, infrastructure, and population needs efficiently. This assessment guides immediate response efforts, resource allocation, and planning for recovery. The toolkit combines surveys, data collection techniques, and technology to provide a clear picture of the situation rapidly, enabling organizations to make informed decisions and prioritize actions to save lives and reduce further harm.
