	In September 2012, Portland [[wikipedia:Sam_Adams_(Oregon_politician)\|Mayor Sam Adams]] directed the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management to design and implement the BEECN program. The initial idea came from Mayor Adams himself after observing a similar program in [https://youtu.be/icXq279CmXs Seattle]. Mayor Adams instructed PBEM to fully deploy the program before December 31 of that year with 48 sites (two more sites were added later, for a total of 50).

Mayor Adams instructed PBEM to fully deploy the program before December 31 of that year with 48 sites (two more sites were added later, for a total of 50). In the first planning days of BEECN, the program was called "Neighborhood Emergency Communications Sites" (NECS).

	With only three months to implement, PBEM Operations Manager David Blitzer and new hire Jeremy Van Keuren jumped into a truck and scoured the city to scope out site locations. It was like the worst 80s buddy cop movie ever, but they nailed down 50 locations. Meanwhile, the [https://rdpo.net Regional Disaster Policy Organization] mobilized to assist funding the program. Thanks to their work, the 2010 [https://www.fema.gov/grants/preparedness/homeland-security UASI grant] would provide $151,496 to start BEECN. The Mayor's Office contributed an additional $60,000 to market the program by sending a BEECN postcard to every home and business in the City of Portland. The postcards dropped in early December 2012. Mayor Adams officially kicked the program off on December 10, and held a press conference two days later.
