# The operational period for a BEECN is from 0600 to 2200, and BEECNs will not operate from 2200 to 0600 (with the next operational period starting at 0600); unless otherwise specified by PBEM.
 
# Each operational period is divided into two shifts: Shift A and Shift B. Shift A runs from 0600 to 1400, and Shift B runs from 1400 to 2200.
==== Shift One ====
Shift A BEECN Volunteers must decide, as a team, two important things to begin the cycles of BEECN Operations:
'''So when should a cohort ''first'' activate their BEECN?''' The first BEECN shift of an activation is called "Shift One". PBEM does not expect to activate the BEECN system from the EOC side for 24 to 48 hours after an earthquake. The BEECN cohort should activate inside that timeframe, but the starting point on the clock should either be 0600 or 1400. Therefore, in the Response Framework, BCs can choose when they plan to activate their BEECN from the following options:
 
* 24 hours post earthquake, rounded forward to 0600
* 24 hours post earthquake, rounded forward to 1400
* 36 hours post earthquake, rounded forward to 0600
* 36 hours post earthquake, rounded forward to 1400
* 48 hours post earthquake, rounded forward to 0600
* 48 hours post earthquake, rounded forward to 1400
 
'''''For example:''''' let's say a cohort selects "36 hours post event rounded forward to 0600". Now suppose the earthquake hits at 0248 in the morning on March 15. That means the team should aim to have the BEECN deployed by 0600 on March 17.Shift A BEECN Volunteers must decide, as a team, two important things to begin the cycles of BEECN Operations:


* '''The location they will meet at the beginning of the first shift.''' PBEM recommends that the location ''not'' be the BEECN Site, since it may be crowded with people who need immediate help. Instead, PBEM encourages the first shift to meet at a location out of view from the BEECN site (preferably the BEECN Cache Storage Location if it is a sufficient distance from the BEECN Site).
