Members of the Speakers Bureau are trained to deliver the 60-75 minute presentation ''Emergency Preparation for You, Your Family, and Your Community''. Sometimes | Members of the Speakers Bureau are trained to deliver the 60-75 minute presentation ''Emergency Preparation for You, Your Family, and Your Community''. Sometimes the session is referred to as 'emergency prep 101'. We provide this educational format to the public, nonprofit organizations, and other City bureaus and partners virtually and in person. It requires 75 minutes. | ||

== | == Training == | ||
Two-hour train-the-trainer (TTT) sessions are announced in the PBEM Volunteer Bulletin periodically, and added to [https://pbem.link/miplogin MIP Opportunities > Advanced Training]. | |||
After attending a training, you will be provided with a link to the Speakers Bureau application form. If accepted, you will receive notifications when new Speakers Bureau events are posted for Speakers to sign up. | |||
== The Slides == | |||
The presentation is provided in PowerPoint or PDF format to volunteers who are designated as members of the Speakers Bureau. To maintain an excellent standard of public education, PBEM must train and qualify presenters. The PowerPoint slides are not distributed beyond the Speakers Bureau group. | |||
== Modifying the Content == | |||
Speakers Bureau members do not modify the presentation content, which has evolved over a decade and many, many presentations to various audiences. We understand that some volunteers may wish to present different or additional information outside the scope of the Speakers Bureau presentation. However, the goal of this program is to effectively deliver these specific topics and knowledge to the public, as advertised. Therefore, modifying the format is not acceptable, in order to maintain consistency and quality. | |||
== Content Updates == | |||
Science and circumstances evolve, and information included in the presentation might change. When that happens, PBEM will publish a revised slide deck for Speakers Bureau members, and list the changes. | |||
== The | == The Speakers Bureau Deployment Process == | ||
# An organization or group of neighbors requests a presentation for 8 or more people through our [https://pbem.link/eprep online form], | |||
# After PBEM vets the request, it is added '''in MIP''' under '''Opportunities > Speakers Bureau'''. Only volunteers qualified to sign up for these opportunities will see them. When we add a batch, notification will be sent to Speakers Bureau members. And you can simply check MIP periodically. | |||
#* '''If the event is in your neighborhood''', and the details in the description sound appealing to you, sign up and it’s yours! No one else will be able to sign up after you claim the event. So please '''''read the assignment details carefully and double-check your schedule first'''''. Because PBEM does not want to drop the ball on public events, '''you cannot cancel a Speakers Bureau sign-up in MIP yourself'''. You must [[Mailto:net@portlandoregon.gov?subject=Speakers Bureau cancelation|email PBEM]] so that we know to re-fill your slot. | |||
#* '''If the event is ''not'' in your neighborhood, and there is a Speakers Bureau member in that neighborhood (list below),''' please wait a couple of days after you see it before claiming it. We very much want neighbors educating neighbors when possible, because this is a great way to recruit NETs and ATVs for your local team. | |||
# After you sign up for a gig, the description in MIP will change: You, and only you, will now be able to see the name, phone number, and email information for the requester so that you may '''contact them directly''' to finalize the plan. You will also see the full address of the presentation location they submitted. | |||
