Oregon's notoriously damp weather means PBEM discourages printing forms on regular paper if possible. In a disaster, volunteers may find themselves working outdoors and rain will quickly render forms on regular paper into a mess of illegible pulp. Therefore, PBEM recommends printing ICS forms on [https://www.riteintherain.com/ Rite in the Rain] paper or other waterproof paper. | Oregon's notoriously damp weather means PBEM discourages printing forms on regular paper if possible.

This form does not allow for a great deal of detail on victims’ conditions. This is acceptable for an immediate, short-term response when the presumption that emergency medical response will soon be en route. However, if volunteers anticipate that professional responders will not be available for some time, a designated volunteer should consider tracking treatment area patients using this form as a "dashboard" while tracking the condition of individual patients using Form 5b: Individual Treatment Record. | This form does not allow for a great deal of detail on victims’ conditions.
