| == BEECN Demobilization ==
| |
| # In a prescribed operational period, volunteers should not cease BEECN operations unless:
| |
| ## The personal safety of the volunteers is threatened (in which case, volunteers should immediately leave the area and not follow other demobilization protocols).
| |
| ## An urgent life/safety issue emerges for a volunteer’s loved one.
| |
| ## Shift B does not arrive to relieve Shift A.
| |
| ## A Public Safety official in the field (such as PBEM staff, a police officer, or firefighter) orders the BEECN to demobilize.
| |
| # Once the decision or order to demobilize is made, BEECN volunteers will sign off from the radio with the fire station:
| |
| #* '''BEECN VOLUNTEER:''' <span style="background:#FFFF00">[FIRE STATION NUMBER]</span> this is <span style="background:#FFFF00">[BEECN NUMBER and BEECN NAME]</span>. We are demobilizing and boxing up the cache. <span style="background:#FFFF00">[give reason for demobilization]</span>
| |
| #* '''FIRE STATION:''' Roger <span style="background:#FFFF00">[BEECN NUMBER and BEECN NAME]</span>.'''You are now marked in the EOC as inactive.''' Please turn off your radio, remove the batteries and proceed with securing the BEECN cache.
| |
| # Volunteers shall take down the tent according to the tent instructions (but in reverse). If there was rain and the fabric canopy is wet, please do not fold it up with the frame. Instead, volunteers should leave the fabric canopy loosely on top of the rest of the equipment inside the cache. This will help guard against mold.
| |
| # '''Volunteers must remove the batteries from the radio''', since they may leak after time and render the radio inoperable. Batteries can be left inside the box with the radio.
| |
| # Re-pack all equipment inside the box. If any equipment is missing, volunteers should indicate that at the end of the log along with any explanation as to why the equipment is missing. Volunteers may then leave the log inside the BEECN cache, for PBEM to pick up later.
| |
| # Volunteers should next push the box back to its secure location. Once there, the volunteers should position it and lock it up the way it was found, and '''double-check the lock''' to make sure everything is secured.
