Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) 2
Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) 2 :
A process used to determine the impact and magnitude of damage and the resulting unmet needs of individuals, businesses, the public sector, and the community as a whole. Information collected as a result of the PDA process is used by the State as a basis for the Governor's request for Federal assistance under the Stafford Act, and by FEMA to document the recommendation made to the President in response to the Governor's request. In a particularly fast-moving or clearly devastating disaster, the PDA process may be deferred until after the declaration. (FEMA, Mission Assignment SOPs, 2007, p. 58; See: 44 CFR 206.33)
