Each parade will include at least one Volunteer Coordination Center (VCC) to coordinate volunteers and their communications. The location of a Coordination Center will be included in the Operations Plan. Parade Guides should plan an in-person check in at the Coordination Center where they will receive their assignment, any parade materials they may need, and to check they have everything they need (including answers to questions).
Roles at a Coordination Center may include:
* '''Parade Guide Lead:''' This person (a PBEM staffer) effectively serves as the Incident Commander for Parade Guides. They will have an 800 MHz radio to communicate with the Portland Emergency Coordination Center (ECC).
* '''Check-in/Check-out:''' Specializes in checking in the Parade Guides when they arrive at the post and giving them their barricade assignment. When a Parade Guide checks out, the person(s) in this role can accept the check-out either in person or by radio.
* '''Tactical Radio Lead:''' Monitors the FRS frequency Parade Guides are speaking on and moves the frequency if necessary.
* '''Runners:''' Volunteer who can run critical messages to a barricade if the Parade Guide at a location is not available by cell phone or radio. Runners will also take over for Parade Guides who need to leave post to use the restroom.
