<br /> | ATVs are envisioned as neighborhood-local volunteer resources to supplement a NET team in the aftermath of an earthquake. They appear on NET team rosters only for earthquake response frameworks, and fall under the response structure of their NET. The Team Leader of the NET in their neighborhood, therefore, is also their Team Leader.<br /> | ||

# '''A volunteer in ATV status is not indemnified by the City of Portland.''' However, [https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/bills_laws/ors/ors030.html Good Samaritan laws] still apply. | |||
# '''A volunteer in ATV status is never deployed by the City of Portland.''' An ATV that agrees to a specific role in a NET's earthquake response plan self-deploys. | |||
# Unlike NET volunteers, '''an ATV ''must'' be affiliated with a Neighborhood Emergency Team.''' | |||
# '''The assigned role ([[Volunteer Support Functions Introduction and Directory|VSF]]) of an ATV is tied only to a NET's earthquake response plan.''' ATVs are envisioned assisting only in the aftermath of an earthquake. | |||
# '''All ATVs declare a [[Volunteer Support Functions Introduction and Directory|Volunteer Support Function]] position appropriate for a non-NET volunteer.''' This declaration is made to their Team Leader and it appears on the earthquake response plan. | |||
# '''ATVs are tracked in the NET Volunteer database (as ATVs).''' This reporting is important for PBEM in assessing earthquake readiness. | |||
# '''ATVs are subscribed to ATV volunteer communications (such as occasional bulletins).''' Because of the way our volunteer database is designed, an active ATV cannot opt out of email communications, but we try to keep them light. Communications will include training opportunities for ATVs. | |||
# '''ATVs are permitted access to low risk NET advanced trainings''' if seats remain after they are offered to NETs. Occasionally, ATVs receive priority access to advanced training seats for training in their chosen VSF. | |||
