The comments are far from typical. As a Red Cross volunteer, I have been
involved with several damage assessments from beginning to end. The Red Cross
tries to complete a Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) in twenty-four hours. I
have seen this initial assessment be the assembly of several organizations'
damage assessments. After the PDA, the Red Cross has returned to the field to
complete the detailed assessment. In my experience, it has taken up to several
days to complete a detailed damage assessment. We certainly did not pack up and
leave.
