			=== Appropriate Tactical Radio Traffic Content ===
			Radio frequencies used by NETs are open to the public, including FRS, GMRS, and ham. Assume that someone is listening at all times, and only communicate appropriate information.

			'''Never transmit sensitive information via FRS/GMRS or ham. Record this kind of information on paper and pass it up the chain of command with runners:'''

			* Names of Team Members, patients, SUVs, or anyone else.
			** '''No:''' "We are treating Mary Smith for a head injury."
			** '''Yes:''' Assign tactical call signs like "Search Team One," "Command Post," or "Patient A".
			* Street addresses or location detail, if disclosure could invite harm or criminality.
			** '''No:''' "There is a child alone inside 123 Main Street" or "The door on the jewelry store is unlocked."
			** '''Yes:''' "It is not safe for operations on Bubble Boulevard between First and Second Streets."
			*

			Note: Some more sensitive information might be requested via the restricted BEECN network, but is not suitable for NET tactical radio communications which are public.
