* '''Team Service Area boundaries are not logical.''' For over 20 years, teams have organized by neighborhood association boundaries. But if we decide that a team's response area is for earthquake response, we cannot expect even a well organized and highly trained group of NETs to take on the area encompassed by even a small neighborhood association. The average Portland neighborhood is 2.5 square miles and has 16,000 people living in it. A robust NET of 30 highly trained volunteers would immediately spread themselves too thin. | * '''Team Service Area boundaries are not logical.'''

* '''NETs want to engage with the neighbors who live around them.''' Related to the Service Area issue, Glenn and I hear consistently from NETs that they want to help get their immediate neighborhoods prepared. That is, the level of the block, the street, or (in the case of apartment/condo buildings) the floor. But PBEM has not provided clear and engaging paths to doing that. | * '''NETs want to engage with the neighbors who live around them.'''
