=== Sharing out the BEECN Response Framework ===
At the end of the survey is a checkbox reading "Send me a copy of my responses". The BC should check the box, input their email address, and click "Submit". An electronic copy of the Framework will arrive in the BC's email (check spam if you do not receive it inside five minutes). You can then forward it out to other cohort members via email. The BC might also consider adding information about how to access the cache at the BEECN Cache Storage Location.


The cohort's Framework is shared automatically with PBEM when the form is submitted. The BC should also forward the Framework via email to the fire station that serves as their primary relay as an FYI. To find the email address for a fire station, click the appropriate fire station link in the [[Operations at BEECN Sites#BEECN Channel Guide|BEECN Channel Guide]].


 
=== BEECN Operational Periods and shifts ===
Volunteers must consider that an earthquake knocking out communications systems means volunteers will be unable to check in with each other.
 
 
 
Cohorts  Therefore, cohorts must plan ahead on who deploys for Shift A, and who for Shift B.
 
Furthermore, all four volunteers (Primary and Backup) assigned to a shift should deploy for that shift if they can. If one or both Primary volunteers cannot deploy, the Backup volunteers are still present to carry out BEECN responsibilities and/or assist the Primary Volunteers if needed. Backup volunteers can also rotate Primary Volunteers out of their shift for breaks to eat, use the bathroom, etc.
 
PBEM recommends that the Cohort Coordinator inform the closest Fire Station and local NETs of the Cohort’s deployment plan.
