Rebuild Iowa Office - Housing Task ForceSupplemental Information to August 2008 ReportPage 9 of 50Basic PDA Guidelines for Human ServicesThe following guidelines are to be used by FEMA/State Preliminary DamageAssessment (PDA) Teams while evaluating damages for Individual Assistance asthe result of a disaster event. Please note that these guidelines are not absolute anddamages are to be evaluated on an individual basis regarding the impacts to thehome and the probable assistance necessary to address those impacts. Insurancecannot be duplicated by any federal programs so for those events wherehomeowners insurance may be applicable, particular attention to insurancecoverage is important. Please also note your best estimate of owner occupied vs.renter occupied homes.Categories of damage:a. Destroyed: Destroyed is used when there is a total loss or damage tosuch an extent that repairs are not economically feasible. Any one ofthe following may constitute a status of destroyed:1. Structure is not economically feasible to repair.2. Structure is permanently uninhabitable.3. Complete failures to most major components of structure (e.g.basement walls/foundation, walls, roof, etc.)b. Major: Major damage is when the home has sustained structural orsignificant damages, is uninhabitable and requires extensive repairs.(e.g. substantial failures to structural elements of the residence, repairswill take more than 30 days, has more than 50% damage, etc.)c. Minor: Minor damage is used when the home is damaged and mayonly be used under limited conditions, but can be restored with minorrepairs (e.g. can be repaired in less than 30 days for only a few thousanddollars).d. Affected: Affected damage is if the living unit, porch, carport, garage,etc., was damaged but the living unit can still be occupied safely.Secondary residences would not be covered by federal disaster assistanceprograms and as such would be counted separate from primary residences.08/11/2008

Rebuild Iowa Office - Housing Task ForceSupplemental Information to August 2008 ReportPage 40 of 50Davis introduced the presenters and format for handling questions.Presentation of InformationDamage Impact – Steve Zimmerman, Preparedness Bureau Chief and Alternate StateCoordinating Officer (SCO), Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM)(see handouts: Damage Levels & Conditions, PDA County Summary, and Basic PDAGuidelines for Human Services)The Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division speakers explained that thePreliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) involves a joint effort between local, state, FEMA, andSBA representatives and entails assessment homes and businesses to reach the thresholdamount of damages to qualify for a Presidential Disaster Declaration. All houses are assessedin accordance with the damage levels and conditions. All houses with damages are assessed. Ifassessment team members find different levels of damage, the assessment is recorded at thehigher level of damage. The primary purpose of the Preliminary Damage Assessment is todocument damages up to the level to trigger a request for a Presidential Disaster Declaration.Q: Given flooding events, how long did damage assessment take to complete? Or is it finished?A: The assessment began after the Parkersburg tornado and it finished two weeks ago. Thelength of time required for the assessment depends on the damage. In the case of Parkersburg,the PDA was completed in six hours. But that case was clear-cut; all the homes and buildingswere destroyed. Flooding is more complex. Des Moines’ PDA reported a very low number forPolk County. The Governor requested a damage assessment the day after the levee broke, andsome of the houses could not be accessed to conduct the assessment. The Governor wantedthe damage assessment completed right away in order to declare the county a disaster area.Federal regulations are somewhat vague as to what qualifies a state for a disaster
