=== Summary ===
=== Summary ===
[https://www.portland.gov/beecn BEECN] volunteers operate in organized cohorts, perform regular equipment checks, participate in drills, and deploy communication nodes (BEECNs) 24–48 hours after a major earthquake. Each BEECN District Coordinator is responsible for one of Portland's [https://www.portland.gov/transition/districtcommission/map four geographic districts]. In collaboration with PBEM staff and BEECN volunteers, the District Coordinator provides support and oversight to help maintain volunteer engagement and operational readiness at BEECN sites. This position acts as a liaison between [[VSF 14.01.02: BEECN Coordinator|BEECN Coordinators]] and PBEM's BEECN program manager, promoting consistent communication, logistical support, and alignment with BEECN program goals. This is a Blue Skies volunteer position; the position does not carry into response.
TBA


BEECN Volunteers are the only PBEM volunteers who can be a NET volunteer '''''or''''' an [[Affiliated Team Volunteers (ATVs)|ATV]] but are [[Indemnification|indemnified]] by the City of Portland either way.
Debris Clearance volunteers assisting the City of Portland ''only'' clear debris from public streets. If a volunteer helps clear debris on private property, that volunteer does so without any association with the City of Portland. Volunteers clearing debris from private property risks the private property owner's prospects for receiving relief from FEMA.
