Damage assessment is the systematic process of identifying, measuring, recording, and evaluating the extent of losses caused by a disaster. It helps determine the impact on human life, property, infrastructure, agriculture, the environment, and economic activities. The information collected through damage assessment supports emergency response, relief distribution, rehabilitation, reconstruction, and future disaster risk reduction planning. It provides decision-makers with reliable data for allocating resources, estimating financial losses, and prioritizing recovery efforts. Damage assessment is carried out immediately after a disaster as well as during the recovery phase to understand both immediate and long-term impacts. The primary objective of damage assessment is to provide accurate and timely information regarding the severity of the disaster. It identifies the number of people affected, fatalities, injuries, displaced populations, and the condition of essential services such as hospitals, schools, roads, bridges,
