(1) Transportation needs population (Category 2TR). Temporary housing for Category 2TR personnel will require
access to temporary or pre-existing mass transit or bus routes.
(2) Special needs population (Category 2SN). Temporary housing for Category 2SN personnel may require ADA
compliance and special modifications for even short term occupation.
(3) Animal needs population (Category 2AN). Temporary housing for Category 2AN personnel will require appropriate
pet crates, carriers, and/or enclosures as well as access to additional potable water and animal food supplies. Best
practices typically separate large pets and animals, such as dogs, into a specific area with access to pet areas and pet
waste bins, in order to manage expectations and reduce noise complaints among non-dog owners.
d. Transient housing. Transient housing requirements for transient personnel (schools, courses, conferences, meetings),
visitors, guests, and contractors (especially the large number of recovery contractors in some larger incidents)
remain throughout the recovery phase and need to be accounted for in the allocation of temporary housing. Depending
upon the incident and the resulting damage, transient housing requirements may be shifted to the local civil jurisdictions,
but there is a financial and transportation burden associated with such a shift, which needs to be addressed.
Coordination of transient housing needs is the responsibility of the DPW Housing Office in support of the RWG.
e. Long-term or permanent housing. Permanent housing is the responsibility of the DPW Housing Office. Best
practices in this area suggests that installations should not rush into permanent housing solutions until a revised
community profile has been completed and the installation has the infrastructure and services necessary to support the
estimated population. It is important to address changes in the installation populace, especially designated place
relocations, in this process.
19–18. Assistance program
a. Federal assistance programs. As a general rule, Federal programs under the Stafford Act, as amended, and other
applicable programs are not available to on-post residents or personnel assigned overseas. Individual homeowners and
renters insurance policies address personal property losses of installation residents and the installation and supporting
service is responsible for covering losses to infrastructure, facilities, and buildings, including family housing units
through existing operating budgets and requests for supplemental appropriations through higher headquarters.
Note. The growing use of public-private ventures arrangements to address on- and off-post housing, especially rental properties,
changes some of the dynamics regarding the FEMA Individual Assistance Program as some public-private ventures locations have
local civilian residents renting at the same property as members of the Army community. DAMO–ODP will coordinate with the
appropriate Federal, DOD, and Army offices to identify specific requirements and address these issues in future policy revisions.
b. Army assistance programs. Programs such as the Army Community Service (ACS), including the Army Emergency
Relief organization, are the primary conduit for providing temporary financial assistance to members of the
Army community.
Chapter 20
Capability Assessment
20–1. Installation status report
All installations shall provide input to the performance measures associated with Service Area 604 Army Emergency
Management as a component of their normal ISR process per AR 210–14. DAMO–ODP serves as the HQDA
proponent for Service Area 604 and shall support ISR Services in the development, review, and maintenance of
assigned performance measures aligned with DODI 6055.17, AR 525–27, and this publication.
20–2. Readiness reporting
a. Requirement. Commanders at all levels shall use the Defense Readiness Reporting System for reporting the
readiness and ability to successfully conduct all assigned tasks in support of assigned missions per DODD 770.65 and
AR 220–1. At the installation level, this reporting requirement is a consolidated process with the existing ISR data
entry, which uses established business rules and performance measure prioritization, weighting, and alignment to
translate existing Service Area 604 information into Defense Readiness Reporting System–Army readiness reporting
without the burden of an additional reporting process.
b. Special facilities. Installations responsible for special weapons or other designated programs shall use the
reporting procedures and systems required by their combatant commander and/or Service as directed by higher
headquarters.
c. Task alignment. Each Army installation shall align its performance objectives with the applicable Army mission
essential tasks which apply to their local conditions. The tasks must be complete with conditions and standards for each
identified task.
