PBEM asks volunteers who can to purchase their own packs. However, PBEM will purchase a pack for any Trainee unable to easily afford one.
Volunteers who can should purchase their own packs. However, PBEM will provide a pack or pieces to complete a pack for any Trainee unable to easily afford equipment.


Required equipment includes a NET hard hat, vest, and ID with lanyard. HOWEVER, PBEM will provide those items and Trainees should not purchase them.
NET Trainees often find they can construct most of their kit from items around the home, and simply buy the few pieces they do not already possess. The one highly specialized item in the kit is the 4-in-1 tool (see below for details).

A stocked response kit mitigates the hazards encountered by a NET volunteer during a deployment. When called on to deploy to an emergency, you would take your NET kit with you to ensure you can respond effectively. <s>At minimum, a kit should include all items listed in this section.</s>
Required equipment includes a NET hard hat, vest, and ID with lanyard. However, PBEM will provide those items and Trainees should not purchase them.


As resources permit PBEM will also provide all Trainees with a Field Operating Guide (FOG) and hard hat chinstraps.
