Open the session by reminding the team that a healthy NET program relies on steady recruitment—volunteers retire, move, or get busy, so planning ahead ensures the team remains resilient. Share a few proven outreach methods, such as tabling at neighborhood events, giving short presentations at community association meetings, or partnering with local schools, faith groups, or businesses. | |||
Start the discussion by explaining that recruitment isn’t one-size-fits-all: some community members are ready to commit to full NET training, while others prefer a lighter, support-oriented role as ATVs. Both groups strengthen the team—Active NETs provide certified disaster response capability, and ATVs expand reach, offer surge capacity, and often become future Active NETs. | Start the discussion by explaining that recruitment isn’t one-size-fits-all: some community members are ready to commit to full NET training, while others prefer a lighter, support-oriented role as ATVs.
