|Though the chain of BEECN communications from BEECN cache to fire station to EOC is well understood, there is little clarity around what the EOC can or will do with radio traffic from BEECNs. Portland Fire & Rescue could have an important part to play in this plan, since possibly some of the radio traffic (e.g. life safety traffic) should be relayed only to the fire station level and not to the EOC. | |Though the chain of BEECN communications from BEECN cache to fire station to EOC is well understood, there is little clarity around what the EOC can or will do with radio traffic from BEECNs.

This objective requires more discussion over how NETs and BEECNs share responsibility, and how a BEECN crew decides what NET to associate with (as well as what to do if no NET is active near them). Nonetheless, combining NETs and BEECNs into unified teams will strengthen both programs. | This objective requires more discussion over how NETs and BEECNs share responsibility, and how a BEECN crew decides what NET to associate with (as well as what to do if no NET is active near them).

However, as grant and other resources permit, PBEM should consider installing more of these in District 1. | They are cost prohibitive, however.

|Because of District 4’s hilly and wooded geography, PBEM possesses a UHF repeater and it is a key part of the resilience of District 4 BEECN resources. However, some parts of it need updating (particularly the battery) and institutional knowledge on how to set it up and operate it is improving but still lacking. This objective proposes that the appropriate equipment be purchased (which should cost less than $2,000) and a WikiNET article be written that addresses processes and procedures for standing up the repeater in an emergency. | |Because of District 4’s hilly and wooded geography, PBEM possesses a UHF repeater and it is a key part of the resilience of District 4 BEECN resources.

Tactically, this question is probably best evaluated with the Emergency Management Steering Committee (EMSC). If the EMSC would like BEECNs used for employee check ins, PBEM would take the lead on proposing specific policies/processes/procedures. | Tactically, this question is probably best evaluated with the Emergency Management Steering Committee (EMSC).
