Capital Area Shelter Hub Plan (CASHP)

What is the Capital Area Shelter Hub Plan?

Capital Area Shelter Hub Plan, an emergency operation involving a roster of local governments including the City of Austin, Travis County, Hays County, Williamson County and area school districts. 

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, officials are trying to avoid large concentrated gatherings of people indoors, so they’re housing flood evacuees in hotels instead.

Helpful information for Evacuees: 

If you would like your City/Area map and information posted here for evacuees to access, please send it to oes@co.hays.tx.us

Damage Assessment

What is damage assessment?

Damage Assessment is the process for determining the nature and extent of the loss, suffering, and/or harm to the community resulting from a natural, accidental or human-caused disaster. Damage assessment provides situational awareness and critical information on: Type, scope and severity of the event. Damage assessmentrecord the extent of damage, what can be replaced, restored or salvaged. It may also estimate the time required for repair, replacement and recovery. Damage assessment is an integral part of facilitating effective and efficient response by government agencies and other organizations.

How do you assess the damage?

1. Is the damage light, moderate, or heavy?

2. What is happening? What could happen? (i.e. how bad could things get?)

Are there different kinds of damage assessment?

Yes!

Four types of Damage Assessment may be considered:

  • Initial Situation Overview (ISO)

  • Initial Damage Assessment (IDA)

  • Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis (DANA) and

  • Damage and Loss Assessment (DALA).
