The Rapid Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) Survey for Media Institutions provides a structured framework for assessing the impact of a disaster on a given media outlet, identify its immediate and longer-term needs, and support its recovery with essential data to inform decision-making and resource mobilization.

This Rapid PDNA Survey covers key areas such as infrastructure damage, operational capacity, editorial challenges, and financial stability. It serves as a potent tool for duty bearers, aid and development agencies, media support organizations, and media outlets themselves to identify gaps and develop targeted responses. The tool supports immediate to medium-term response and recovery efforts by gathering key data, which can inform subsequent decision-making and fundraising initiatives.
