Abstract: The Detailed Damage Inspection Report (DDIR) is an official document prepared under the FHWA’s Emergency Relief (ER) Program, authorized by Title 23 of the United States Code (23 U.S.C. 125). The purpose of the DDIR is to provide a thorough assessment of roadway and bridge damages caused by natural disasters or catastrophic events, such as floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes. The completed report is necessary to serve as the foundation for determining the eligibility of a site under the ER program and developing the required Program of Projects. This information collection supports the DOT Strategic Goals of Safety and Mobility. By establishing a formalized reporting mechanism to quickly assess and categorize damage to critical highway infrastructure, the FHWA can rapidly deploy Emergency Relief funds to restore safe and reliable transportation networks following catastrophic events.
