Disaster Recovery Log helps you record information about damages to your home and property using text, images and audio. The app uses the smartphone’s camera feature to capture photos to illustrate the flood damage. Users can that they enter descriptions for damaged items or use their smartphone’s voice recorder to record an audio description of the damage. These details and photos are essential for possible insurance and/or government reimbursement.

Each damaged item is entered as a "Detail" organized under a "Disaster." You start by adding a "Disaster." Then you add "Details" to that "Disaster" to document your losses.

You can enter text, add photos using your camera or gallery, and add audio using your sound recorder of choosing from saved audio files.

DRJ also provides NDSU Extension Service information on how to clean or deal with flood-damaged appliances and electronics; carpets and floors; clothing and fabrics; food; furniture; gardens and landscapes; home structures; household items; mold; papers, books and photos; and water.
