=== Staffing === | |||
A team of two PBEM staff will set up and take down stations daily, with the assistance of volunteers who are on shift. PBEM staff are necessary because they can drive PBEM vehicles, have access to Jerome Sears, and can be entrusted with Parks security codes and keys. PBEM staff are responsible for following this job aid (see Responsibilities below). Misting stations must be staffed by two people at all times to avoid loss and ensure safety. | |||
Generally, PBEM will ask Neighborhood Emergency Team {NET) volunteers to staff them for four hours at a time. Volunteers should have a PBEM NET Coordinator to report to. Volunteers should report to the PBEM NET Coordinator if any unsafe activity is occurring on site. After the severe weather event is over, the PBEM NET Coordinator will send a survey to the volunteers to collect feedback on their deployment. | |||
