Damage Estimates

Remember:
SAP Evaluators assess safety not damage.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) calculates damage costs using preliminary damage assessments (PDAs) developed in partnership with the OES and local government. Federal assistance may partially finance the safety assessment response to a disaster or emergency, but it cannot directly finance damage assessments.

So what does this mean to the Safety Assessment Program? After considerable discussions and negotiations, FEMA and OES agreed on a compromise procedure. Local jurisdictions can calculate damage in dollars using information provided by SAP Evaluators and standard construction cost tables.
