From a policy perspective, deciding what constitutes a minimum level of training/knowledge for NET and BEECN volunteers is a three-way balancing act between 1.) keeping the risk profile of PBEM volunteer programming low; 2.) ensuring that NET and BEECN volunteers possess a level of training and experience that makes them helpful in disaster response (e.g. a "deployable resource"); and 3.) not driving volunteers off by asking for too much of their time. If risk profiles of PBEM volunteer programming are out of sync with the City of Portland's [https://www.alevinegroup.com/risk-tolerance-insurance/ risk tolerance], PBEM may be directed to adversely adjust the MSC and throw it out of balance. | From a policy perspective, deciding what constitutes a minimum level of training/knowledge for NET and BEECN volunteers is a three-way balancing act between 1.) keeping the risk profile of PBEM volunteer programming low; 2.) ensuring that NET and BEECN volunteers possess a level of training and experience that makes them helpful in disaster response (e.g. a "deployable resource"); and 3.) not driving volunteers off by asking for too much of their time.

== MSC Frequently Asked Questions == | |||
===== Q: Do I receive Active status while working back up to making my MSC? ===== | |||
A: Generally speaking, no. But if your status as an ATV or Inactive is preventing you from making your MSC, please let PBEM staff know and we'll work something out. | |||
===== Q: Can I remain an Active NET volunteer if I can't make my MSC? ===== | |||
A: Probably not. But PBEM staff will consider mitigating circumstances before downshifting a volunteer to ATV status or deactivating them. | |||
