The new name will be the ‘Disaster Assessment Surveyor System or DASS’.
So, what is DASS?
DASS is an assessment system designed to support all hazards, not just bushfires. The platform helps government agencies, researchers and citizens perform post-incident damage and impact assessments. Our goal is for the system to be federally hosted so that agencies do not incur any ‘per device license’ costs.
The name change is now in effect after the completion of NBIC – Stage 2 in June 2025.
