Make changes to the Damage Assessment section to reflect the Red Cross' current Direct Client Assistance (DCA) model

[jim-mcgowan]

On the Details tab of incident reports, make the following changes to the Damage Assessment section:

1. Add Multi-family home to the Structure type* pop-up menu between Single family home and Apartment;
2. Change the units fields from Units destroyed*, Units major*, Units minor* and Units affected* to Units not livable* and Units livable*.

@OhMcGoo 1. here is straightforward, but I have some questions for 2. How should we handle existing data here, since it doesn't sound like the new definitions map cleanly onto the old ones? Should we show the make the current fields read-only so that they're still visible on older incidents?

[jim-mcgowan]

@pjsier: Regarding 2., what if we first insert Units not livable and Units livable as two additional fields (above Units destroyed) and make them mandatory while making the others no longer mandatory? Once regions have transitioned to using the new designations (say, after a month), we can make the old designations read only. I'm thinking about how we transition as incident reports can often be worked on for up to 2-3 weeks.

Decided w/ @OhMcGoo: Every region is going to make the switch to these new damage classifications, "Units not liveable" and "Units livable". However, the old data still has to be retrievable and displayable, so this isn't totally trivial.

Coming up to speed on this.

What do we think about setting adding in a check that says if the incident date is newer than July 1, 2020, do not present the old fields in the edit interface. Then, in a month (or whatever grace period is needed), we remove the check and remove the old ones completely?

Then, for display purposes, if we see values in the old columns, we display the old values. If we don't see any, we display only the new data (which could be zero)?

Perfect!

See branch 173-damage-assessment and these meeting notes.

Please hold off on this change. NHQ is making changes to damage assessment classifications.

[jim-mcgowan]

Damage assessment classifications are going to remain as-is (Destroyed, Major, Minor and Affected). It is likely that a new classification will be added (Uninhabitable) later this fall but that is still TBD. I am closing this issue.

Note that in our 2020-11-30 meeting, Clara Walker noted that this issue might need to be reopened, as new damage assessment classifications may be coming out as part of the move to RC Care.
