* Facilitate a denser neighborhood network for NET teams;
* Develop relationships with non-NET neighbors (i.e. prospective [[Spontaneous Unaffiliated Volunteers (SUVs)|spontaneous volunteers]]) ''before'' a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake.

ATVs are envisioned as neighborhood-local volunteer resources to '''''supplement''''' a NET team in the aftermath of an earthquake. They appear on NET team rosters only for earthquake response frameworks, and fall under the response structure of their NET. The Team Leader of the NET in their neighborhood, therefore, is also their Team Leader.

Part of the objective of the ATV policy is for NETs to build relationships with neighbors ''before'' a disaster happens. It is better to build that relationship ahead of time instead of in the midst of an immediate response, and reduce the responsibility of managing [[Spontaneous Unaffiliated Volunteers (SUVs)|Spontaneous Unaffiliated Volunteers]].
