Affiliated Team Volunteers (ATVs)
From WikiNET
An Affiliated Team Volunteer ("ATV") is a volunteer who associates with, and is assigned to, a NET Team but does not possess full "Active" NET volunteer status. They are not deployed or indemnified by the City of Portland. The purpose of ATVs is to self-deploy with NETs in the aftermath of an earthquake if they are able to and lend their effort to the local response.
