=== Arriving at your post & station setup === | |||
Again, '''you do not need to check in at the VCC for your shift.''' In fact, doing so is not encouraged because a PBEM rep will meet you at the first aid station site to drop off equipment. They can only drop the equipment off if at least a couple volunteers are there. Please arrive at the first aid station site at the time indicated in the Ops Plan. You could be the first to arrive, so don't feel alarmed if you see no other NETs. | |||
You should expect a PBEM truck to arrive with station supplies around the appointed time on the Ops Plan. | |||
