3.) '''ISSUE: NETs have only ever been deployed through PBEM-managed centralized deployments, ops plans have never been used.''' Since NET started in 1994, there has ''never'' been an emergency for which NETs self-deployed and activated a team ops plan. And in fact, ''every'' deployment has been PBEM directing NETs on where to go and what to do (even if that response was on a small neighborhood scale, such as putting up a perimeter around a down power line). And in fact, the only kind of disaster imaginable that would prompt NETs to self deploy and use an ops plan is a catastrophic city-scale disaster that ''also'' brought down routine communications...in other words, an earthquake. | 3.)

4.) '''ISSUE: NET meeting attendance is consistently low.''' There are probably many reasons for this. But what seems readily apparent is that people have busy lives, and that teams have a lack of direction because there is a lack of direction around operations plans. | 4.)
