Operations at BEECN Sites: Difference between revisions

! Explanation

|-

| style="background-color:#FF0000;"|'''Scene Stabilization'''

| Equivalent to a 9-1-1 call. Radio traffic concerning major incidents that are causing/threatening to cause widespread casualties and property damage. This can include large and spreading fires, stopping hazardous material leaks, de-energizing electric lines and shutting off gas lines. This information should interrupt all other radio traffic.

|-

| style="background-color:#FF3333;"| '''Life Safety'''

| Equivalent to a 9-1-1 call. Radio traffic reporting injuries of imminent threat to the life of a patient or patients.  

|-

|style="background-color:#FF6666;" | '''Damage Assessments and Casualty Reports'''

| Members of the public reporting significant damage to property and infrastructure, or reports of injuries and casualties.

|-

| style="background-color:#FF9999;"| '''Government Employee Check-in'''

| Government and TriMet employees have systems in place to contact their employers. If necessary there are “Post Earthquake Employee Check In” forms included in the loose leaf notebook in each BEECN cache.

|-

| style="background-color:#FFCCCC;"| '''Person Location'''

| This is a request from someone to help find a missing loved one. BEECN volunteers can direct people to resources but will not facilitate reunification of families, house mates or loved ones.

|-

| Any traffic that does not fall into the above categories. As a general rule, no traffic other than the above should go over the BEECN system. However, this rubric cannot predict all situations and PBEM expects BEECN volunteers to execute appropriate judgement whether the content of a message justifies reporting it to the EOC.
