The Survivor Portal is a Crisis Track add-on that enables community members affected by disasters to directly submit information about property damage and personal needs through an organization’s own Survivor Portal website. This add-on expands the functionality of the Crisis Track Resident Self-Report feature. Both features allow the public to submit information about property damage, but the Survivor Portal also captures information about unmet needs, such as lack of food, medicine, or transportation. As recovery efforts evolve and survivor’s needs change, the Survivor Portal allows individuals to update their submissions. The information submitted by the public via the Survivor Portal website is tied to an incident and appears in Crisis Track as entries for that incident.
After a disaster, state and local emergency management officials focus damage assessment efforts on properties and infrastructure. Often, this approach can overlook the complex needs of the disaster survivor:
- What is their current housing status?
- How many individuals are in the household and what ages?
- What are their immediate unmet needs for health, housing, childcare, education and/or employment?
- How can a disaster survivor be contacted to arrange for additional assistance?
After a disaster, survivors want to know that authorities and disaster recovery agencies are addressing their needs. A method of collecting this information can ensure that local and state agencies can provide services when survivors need them the most.
