Purpose, in the publication’s words
This regulation prescribes policy, standards, and requirements for performing the functions of the Disaster Personnel Accountability and Assessment (DPAA) Program. All references to Soldiers in the regulation refer to commissioned officers, warrant officers, and enlisted Soldiers, unless otherwise stated. The Dep- uty Chief of Staff (DCS), G– 1 requires Department of the Army (DA) Civilians to account for themselves and strongly encourages DA Civilians to account for their Family members. DA Civilians will have the op- portunity to voluntarily provide Family member information prior to a disaster or evacuation Providing Family member information is required for such Family members to receive benefits or assistance upon the occurrence of a disaster or evacuation. Additionally, DA Civilians’ outside the continental United States (OCONUS) assignments may be contingent upon the DA Civilian employees voluntarily providing Family member information. The Army Disaster Personnel Accountability and Assessment System (ADPAAS) is used to report disaster personnel accountability (DPA).
