An Impact Statement is used to collect information about all known and emerging impacts to assist with community recovery.
Last updated:

An Impact Statement provides a point-in-time, concise summary of:

  • known and emerging impacts
  • management actions currently in place
    responsible agencies
  • future management actions required
  • changes to responsibility for impact management.

This Guide was developed by the State Recovery Team through endorsement of the Recovery and Community Engagement Subcommittee to support State Emergency Management Recovery Procedure 5.4 - Impact Statement. 

The guideline provides a section by section guide to assist in the preparation of an Impact Statement and should be used in conjunction with the Impact Statement Template.
