Each VSF is subdivided into one or more volunteer position descriptions. Each position description provides expectations (such as appropriate training and PPE) relevant to that position in an approach modeled from [https://rtlt.preptoolkit.fema.gov/Public FEMA's Resource Typing Library]. | |||
Affiliated Team Volunteers (ATVs) are community members who support NET teams in their local areas but do not hold full "Active NET" status. ATVs are envisioned as supplemental resources for their NET's earthquake response framework and as contributors to overall community resilience. Although they are not deployed by the City of Portland nor indemnified, ATVs may participate in preparedness efforts to strengthen neighborhood readiness for emergencies and to improve general resilience, and in some training and other team activities. | Affiliated Team Volunteers (ATVs) are community members who support NET teams in their local areas but do not hold full "Active NET" status.
