Twice each year, Portland NET teams participate in a Citywide Deployment Exercise (CDE). This helps us improve our skills, make important revisions to our Operations & Communications Plans, and inform our training plans.

The '''last exercise''' was held on Saturday, May 31, 2025 from 1 to 4 pm. We expect to hold the next one in October or November 2025.
Typically, Team Leaders may register their teams first, then individual volunteers sign up to participate at one of the neighborhood sites. Registration announcements are sent in PBEM Volunteer Bulletin emails.
