Among the most significant change drivers, however, is a simple epiphany or two about NET. | Among the most significant change drivers, however, is a simple epiphany or two about NET. | ||

In its history, NETs have never self deployed. To review: a NET self deployment is OK'd by PBEM when two key conditions are met: 1.) a citywide disaster is taking place; and 2.) regular communication systems are not functional. When those conditions are met, the expectation is that NETs check themselves/family/immediate neighbors to make sure they're OK. If so, they deploy to their staging areas and commence their Team Operations Plans. | In its history, NETs have never self deployed.

Only an earthquake, therefore, would ever prompt NETs to self deploy.<ref>...or an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). But in this stage of the conversation, I don't think it's particularly helpful to explore the horrifying implications of that. https://www.economist.com/the-world-if/2017/07/13/the-disaster-that-could-follow-from-a-flash-in-the-sky</ref> | '''Only an earthquake, therefore, would ever prompt NETs to self deploy.'''<ref>...or an electromagnetic pulse (EMP).
