Washington, DC 20472, 202–212–1000.

FEMA received 10 comments on the
draft PDA Manual and made revisions
accordingly. This final PDA Manual
does not have the force or effect of law.

The
Preliminary Damage Assessment for
Individual Assistance Operations
Manual (PDA Manual) was developed to
create uniform procedures for
performing Individual Assistance (IA)
Preliminary Damage Assessments
(PDAs), nationwide, in response to an
impacted State’s request. The primary
purpose for conducting IA PDAs is to
identify the impact, type, and extent of
disaster damages and to determine the
impact on individuals and communities
while identifying the resources needed
for the community to recover.
The PDA is an important first step in
the disaster declaration process. The
information collected during a PDA will
be used by the State to determine if the
response and recovery actions will
require Federal support. If the Governor
determines that the State does not have
adequate resources to respond and
recover from the disaster, and
supplemental Federal assistance is
required, the Governor may request a
Presidential emergency or major disaster
declaration under sections 401 and 501
of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act, as
amended (42 U.S.C. 5170 and 5191).
The PDA information, along with the
Governor’s request, is included with the
Regional Administrator’s Validation
and Recommendation and is forwarded
to FEMA for review. FEMA then
prepares a recommendation to the
President based on the PDA information
and the Regional Administrator’s
Validation and Recommendation.
Establishing a single set of PDA
procedures ensures that regardless of
the location, type of disaster, or FEMA
regional office involved, the assessment
of damages will be consistent, thorough,
and well coordinated.
The PDA Manual supersedes FEMA
Manual 9327.1 PR, Preliminary Damage
Assessment for Individual Assistance
Operations Manual, dated April 2005. It
incorporates procedures developed and
used by individual FEMA regional
offices in the course of conducting PDAs
throughout the United States in a
variety of disasters over several years. It
reflects FEMA’s extensive experience
working with State and local
governments. The PDA Manual is
intended to set the standard for defining
and recording levels of damage, as well
as to establish uniformity in the
composition of teams and the means by
which data is collected.

Authority: The PDA Manual is consistent
with and supports the current plans and
procedures of the National Response
Framework for implementation of the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 5121
et seq. and its implementing regulations in
Title 44, Chapter I of the Code of Federal
Regulations.
