Description

This team trains annually and is activated following a local disaster.  Operational periods are during daylight hours only.

Mobile team who conducts on-location damage assessments post disaster to enable state or federal disaster declaration requests.  Team typically will operate within 72-hours following a disaster and will use mobile devices to capture damage information.  100% of tasks are performed outdoors.

Each four (4) person team would be matched up with a jurisdictional representative (e.g. LE, FD, local gov't employee) to conduct damage assessment in an impacted jurisdiction.  

Goal:  Setup four teams (one each in Blanchester and Sabina, and two in Wilmington), conduct 2.5 hours of initial training in early March, and for teams to be ready for an emergency by mid-March 2022.
