Respiratory Protection
Respiratory protection for NET volunteers gets complicated and weird because there are at least three different scenarios a NET might need a mask for respiratory protection: protection from communicable disease, protection from wildfire smoke, and protection from a hazardous materials release. There is no single mask that can protect against all of those threats, but an N95 comes close. Therefore, the guidance from PBEM is:
- Every NET should carry at least quantity two N95 masks in their deployment kit.
- N95s have a shelf life, and NETs should note when the masks in their kit expire.
Respiratory protection is a must have and among the most important items in a NET kit.
