| The Portland NET Tumblr, aka [https://portlandnet.tumblr.com/ "The NET Coordinator's File Cabinet"], is a [[wikipedia:Microblogging|microblogging]] news blotter with posts relevant to Portland NET and the discipline of emergency management generally. PBEM recommends volunteers visit the Tumblr and scan through article headlines at least once a week, reading any articles they find particularly interesting.

| The Tumblr exists to:
| | <span style="color:#ffffff">...</span> |
|
| |
|
| * '''Keep volunteers up to date on news around emergency management-relevant topics.''' This is a dynamic and frequently shifting field, after all.
| | __TOC__ |
| * '''Provide supplemental information for [[Volunteer Support Functions (VSFs)|Volunteer Support Function]] (VSF) topics.''' For example, articles related to pet rescue are tagged VSF17 for easy sorting and review.
| |
| * '''Serve as an emergency management research hub.''' Some volunteers (and non-volunteers who know our work) are researching specific EM topics. With those topics organized by tagging, researchers can find the information they need quickly.
| |
| * '''Recognize the amazing work of volunteers.''' On the Tumblr, you'll find photos and information about what your fellow NETs are doing.
| |
| * '''[https://portlandnet.tumblr.com/tagged/funny Post fun stuff]'''. Emergency management can get pretty dour if we let it.

|
| The Tumblr is used '''''only''''' for the purposes listed above. It is never used for calendar events or scheduling; that is handled through the volunteer management system and other means. This resource is free to use and 100% publicly viewable; getting a Tumblr account is not necessary.
