National Plan for
Disaster Impact Assessments:
Weather and Water Data
FCM-P33-2010
________________
The
National Plan for Disaster Impact Assessments: Weather and Water Data
(NPDIA) describes collaborative mechanisms and procedures for coordinating
disaster impact assessment and planning activities for significant storm
events among participating Federal agencies and their affiliated partner
organizations. This plan supersedes the National Post-Storm Data
Acquisition Plan (March 2003).
The
intent of the NPDIA is to describe the types of data required or desired
by the participating entities and the means these entities will use
to coordinate data acquisition and data management activities. It is
not the goal of this plan to prescribe the data acquisition activities
of participating agencies, but instead to coordinate those activities
already required by existing agency mission directives. The procedures
outlined herein will likely be revised and refined as experience is
gained from their application.
