"ATV" was first coined and suggested to Jeremy Van Keuren (PBEM) by NET volunteer David Given. David worked with Boy Scout volunteers and requested a volunteer status that kept a non-NET disaster response volunteer "in the loop" of NET activities and encouraged forming a planning relationship with local teams. | "ATV" was first coined and suggested to Jeremy Van Keuren (PBEM) by NET volunteer David Given.
