# '''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 subscribed to ATV volunteer communications (such as occasional bulletins).'''

# At present, '''ATVs are not badged for their role as an ATV or issued NET PPE.''' Those policies may change in the future. There are also some exceptions. For example, BEECN ATVs and HAM radio operator ATVs are issued NET badges because they have blue skies roles that require special access. | # At present, '''ATVs are not badged for their role as an ATV or issued NET PPE.'''

# '''Contact PBEM:''' Once the application is complete, the Team Leader (''not'' the ATV) should email [mailto:net@portlandoregon.gov net@portlandoregon.gov] and make PBEM staff aware of the application so that it can be adjusted to ATV status (otherwise, they'll remain in a status limbo). PBEM staff will send a reply confirming the activation of the ATV and their chosen VSF. | # '''Contact PBEM:''' Once the application is complete, the Team Leader (''not'' the ATV) should email [mailto:net@portlandoregon.gov net@portlandoregon.gov] and make PBEM staff aware of the application so that it can be adjusted to ATV status (otherwise, they'll remain in a status limbo).

#'''Complete a criminal background check:''' ATVs are subject to [[Criminal Background|criminal background checks]] and follow the same policies here as NET volunteers. As with NETs, this is done at PBEM expense and the ATV will be contacted by PBEM to complete the process. | #'''Complete a criminal background check:''' ATVs are subject to [[Criminal Background|criminal background checks]] and follow the same policies here as NET volunteers.

#'''Team orientation:''' The ATV should expect an orientation to their team from the Team Leader. This may be done in the form of a one-on-one meeting or at a team meeting. Topics should include (but are not limited to): | |||
#*The Team's Earthquake Response Framework and the ATV's place in it; | |||
#*Information about optional team meetings and communications from PBEM; | |||
#*How to get further training on their VSF of choice. | |||
#'''Learn how to log hours (optional):''' The newly minted ATV will have a profile in the NET database. Though not required, we highly encourage ATVs to log any volunteer hours. Their Team Leader should instruct them on how to do that. There is also an instructional video at '''<u>XXXXXXXXX</u>'''. | #'''Learn how to log hours (optional):''' The newly minted ATV will have a profile in the NET database.
