'''''Facilitation:''''' Begin by explaining that PBEM organizes all volunteers (NETs, BEECN, ATVs) into Volunteer Support Functions (VSFs). These are specialized areas of disaster skills or knowledge—such as Search & Rescue, Medical, Communications, Logistics, or Public Information. VSFs serve two main purposes: they allow volunteers to deepen skills in areas they’re interested in, and they give teams and PBEM a clear picture of what capabilities exist across the city.
