What is iSTAT and When to Use It
The Individual State of Texas Assessment Tool (iSTAT) is a helpful resource for assessing damage after a disaster hits homes and businesses. Here's what you need to know:
What is iSTAT?
iSTAT is a tool used to quickly gather information about damage to homes and businesses in areas affected by disasters. It helps to understand the extent and severity of the damage.
When and Why Should You Use iSTAT?
- Early in a Disaster: Use iSTAT soon after a disaster occurs to provide an initial assessment of the damage. This helps emergency responders and authorities to understand the immediate impact and what kind of assistance is needed.
- Ongoing Assessments: Continue using iSTAT as the situation evolves. This ongoing data collection is crucial for verifying the level of damage, especially if there is a need for a joint Preliminary Damage Assessment with federal agencies. This can be important for getting federal aid and resources.
By using iSTAT, you contribute valuable information that helps in organizing and providing the necessary support to those affected by the disaster.
