== Timeline == | |||
If volunteer surveying suggests that we move forward, implementation will happen in steps and phases. I believe it would take a year to fully implement this plan. | |||
=== Phase 1 (these steps would happen concurrently) === | |||
* PBEM signs contract with [[wikipedia:Geographic_information_system|GIS provider]] to map neighborhoods. | |||
* Update the NET Guidelines in key areas (ATV policies, VSFs, etc). | |||
* Develop the NET Training Center "Cookbook" in the Wiki with the help of volunteers throughout the State. | |||
* Finalize the Speakers' Bureau, allowing NETs to request preparedness presentations. | |||
* Complete volunteer position descriptions on key VSFs such as comms, medical, etc. so that NETs can assign them to ATVs. | |||
* Complete online surveying tools for Capacity Assessment, Capacity Planning, and response frameworks. | |||
=== Phase 2 (these steps would happen in order) === | |||
# PBEM calls for interested volunteers to declare themselves as Training Centers. | |||
# [[File:BEECN Dashboard.png|alt=The BEECN dashboard is, essentially, a pilot for a Capacity Planning dashboard.|thumb|400x400px|''The BEECN dashboard is, essentially, a pilot and model for a Capacity Planning dashboard.

# PBEM publishes the Training Center directory, and training events are managed through the calendar in MIP. | |||
# PBEM reviews revised Team Service Areas. | |||
# Response Framework dashboard goes live. | |||
=== Phase 3 (these steps would happen concurrently) === | |||
* Block-scale teams begin their Capacity Assessment process. | |||
* PBEM publishes response framework scoring to the dashboard as Capacity Plans and Response Frameworks arrive at PBEM. | |||
* Produce and introduce task books for key VSFs. | |||
* Block-scale teams head into their two-year cycle. | |||
* Groups of block-scale teams glom together (as an option) into federations of response teams. | |||
