PBEM recommends that each cohort of fire station volunteers collaborate on an annual process to plan ahead for deployment and activation of their assigned fire station. To aid in that process and share the plan with PBEM staff, a form is linked at the start of this article. | PBEM recommends that each cohort of fire station volunteers collaborate on an annual process to plan ahead for deployment and activation of their assigned fire station.

PBEM can provide email addresses of fellow cohort members so that a volunteer can organize the process. | ||
The Framework should be turned in annually every March 31st ''at minimum'', though volunteers can turn them in more frequently if they wish. PBEM encourages cohorts to hold a planning session with all the other volunteers assigned to their fire station in person, virtually, or over email once a year. The planning session serves several purposes: | |||
* Ensures that all volunteers in a fire station cohort are on the same page and coordinating; | |||
* Helps volunteers revisit and review their responsibilities; | |||
* Ensures adequate staffing between Shifts A and B; | |||
* Offers space for volunteers to check in and get to know one another; | |||
* The completed Framework confirms to PBEM that volunteers are still managing the fire station's Orange Kit. | |||
