Preliminary Damage Assessment Forms

To prepare the initial assessment, each public agency should complete a PA-2 worksheet for each category of damage incurred by the disaster and a PA-1 summary sheet.

The PDA forms are in an Excel workbook. You should save a copy of the PDA forms Excel workbook to your computer and then complete the forms on your saved copy. The forms cannot be completed online.
