'''A:''' I can't see any reason why not. Although, I'm not sure why someone would want to since Service Areas will not overlap. | '''A:''' I can't see any reason why not. Although, I'm not sure why someone would want to since Service Areas will not overlap. | ||
===== | ===== Comment: The NERF model appears not to have any role for a NET who does not want to take on the leadership task of organizing a NERF. ===== | ||
'''A:''' That is not correct. Under this proposal, NET volunteers can still participate as NETs in centralized deployments, as BEECN volunteers, and in training. If the question is about NERFs ''specifically'', it is true that someone has to lead the effort in a neighborhood for it to work. But that person doesn't necessarily have to be a certified NET volunteer. | '''A:''' That is not correct.

===== Comment: I am struck by the generalizations about teams in this presentation... ===== | |||
''...as if the wide diversity in team function, size, priorities, strengths, and weaknesses didn’t exist. For example, many teams reach out to neighbors A LOT, repeatedly. My team, and many others I know, act as community organizers for emergency preparedness. We want them to be prepared so we don’t have to save them.'' | |||
'''A:''' As the person with a vantage point over the entire program, I would characterize your team as exceptional. Most teams are not in the same place. But it doesn't matter; there is nothing in this proposal that would detract from or disassemble your team's efforts. The idea is to make it easier for everyone to reach the same point your team has reached. | |||
===== Q: So are we going to maintain our present team structure for some extended time period? ===== | |||
'''A:''' ...yes? I may not be clear on what this question is asking. If it is: "Are we doing this ''right away'' if we decide to move forward?" then the answer is "no". This will take at least a year of implementation, I project. It will be done in steps inside of phases. | |||
