“The Volunteer Immediate Responder and Damage Assessment Team: A Concept for Developing Neighborhood Volunteer Emergency Programs.”

This paper describes the overall concept for developing neighborhood volunteer emergency programs. It defines the Immediate Responder and the Damage Assessment Team function and how they interact plus how they can augment the uniformed first responders and local emergency managers with instant response and timely information; the neighborhood volunteers will always be the fastest source of that information. In addition to the organizational concept, this paper includes an in-depth discussion and compilation of the methods used to survey, plot, and track structural and infrastructure damage by civilian volunteers following a disaster.”
