== What are the proposed solutions? == | == What are the proposed solutions? == | ||
In order, we propose: | |||
# In the NET Guidelines, simplify and toss out the distinctions between "PBEM Initiated Deployments", "Self Deployments", and "Standing Orders". Replace with rules governing "Centralized Deployments" and "Earthquake Deployment". | |||
# Dispense with the term "Operations Plans" and call them "Earthquake Plans" to reflect what the plan is actually for and to help put NETs in the mindset of forming a plan around earthquake response. | |||
# Using GIS, allow Teams to decide on service area boundaries that reflect the [[Team Service Areas|response area]] they want to/feel comfortable responding inside of after an earthquake. | |||
# Give NET volunteers the option of participating in earthquake planning in their neighborhoods if they choose to; active NETs do not have to, and all NETs can still participate in centralized deployments. | |||
#* Earthquake planning teams can meet in person (preferred) or through online meetings. | |||
#* Earthquake teams can bring in non-NETs | |||
#* There will be a series of planning milestones for earthquake teams, for example: | |||
#** Decide on (and get approval for) service area boundaries and have them published to the NET map | |||
#** Decide on radio frequencies | |||
#** Capacity assessment | |||
#** Capacity planning (which VSFs and how many) | |||
#** Neighborhood outreach | |||
#** Assembling a roster | |||
# Two types of teams: an earthquake planning team (which includes non-NETs in the service area) and broader scale teams that meet for socializing/community outreach/training events. | |||
