'''Background:''' Some COAD partner organizations could be developed as BEECN "nodal points"; community locations that report up to BEECN locations. By developing a COAD partner in this way, the communities served by the COAD partner will have improved access to information and other resources in the aftermath of a catastrophic earthquake. | '''Background:''' Some COAD partner organizations could be developed as BEECN "nodal points"; community locations that report up to BEECN locations.

| | |With limited resources, COAD and BEECN managers at PBEM will need to decide which COAD partners would most effectively serve as BEECN nodal points. Prospective criteria might include what communities are served by a COAD partner, their physical location and proximity to their nearest BEECN cache, security, and availability of CBO staff/volunteers to train on and operate BEECN equipment. | ||
