Therefore, BEECN volunteers must expect to self deploy without a direct request from PBEM or other government authority. Volunteers should self-deploy and follow their BEECN Response Framework if, and only if, the following conditions are met:
 # A major earthquake has occurred in the Portland area.
 # The volunteer and their family are not in immediate danger, and are not injured.
 # Communication systems (such as land lines) are inoperative.
-=== Responsibilities Prior to Deployment ===
-Immediately following an earthquake, BEECN volunteers:
-# Check themselves for injuries and ensure personal safety.
-# Check in with household members, ensure their safety, and treat any injuries.
-# Deploy to BEECN cache if it is safe to do so, and set it up at the BEECN site.
 === Self Determination to Deploy ===
