As discussed in Lesson 1, the Damage Description and Dimensions is the most important section of the Project Details page in Grants Portal. A detailed Damage Description and Dimensions will:

• Describe the date and cause of the damage
• Identify latitude and longitude
• Demonstrate that the Applicant is responsible for performing the work
• Describe the pre-incident condition of the facility
• Quantify specific incident-related damages or emergency services provided
• Use correct grammar and spelling
• Be easily read and understood

The Applicant should have all the information regarding the damages for the Site Inspector. Together they will review and discuss the information on the Site Inspection Report to ensure all components are captured; therefore, when the Site Inspection Report is entered into Grants Manager, the Damage Description and Dimensions are as accurate and detailed as possible.
