This group carries out an inventory of damages to housing, infrastructure, businesses, agricultural crops, mechanical equipment, social-cultural facilities and completes forms with financial costs. The composition of the assessment groups will be according to the nature of the disaster and the character of the losses and the Technical assessment.   

Inspection teams will visit each damaged facility and fill out damage forms with the corresponding financial costs. The municipalities will then compile complete damage documentation.

According to the announcement, the compensations will be carried out with municipal funds through the civil protection fund. In the absence of funds, they will be planned for the following year and in the event that the fund exceeds 8 percent of the municipality's budget, the compensation requests will be transferred to the National Civil Protection Agency.
