→Neighborhood-based response teams exist for no other purpose than to respond to an earthquake

# Teams of NET volunteers exist really for only two reasons: for local self deployment after an earthquake, and for socializing/training together. | # Teams of NET volunteers exist really for only two reasons: for local self deployment after an earthquake, and for socializing/training together. | ||
# NET "Operations Plans" are really "Earthquake Plans". | # NET "Operations Plans" are really "Earthquake Plans". | ||
# ATVs are a resource that NETs should recruit, but generally only as part of a Neighborhood Earthquake Plan. | |||
With all these implications in mind, I suggest the following changes: | |||
* Operations Plans now be called Neighborhood Earthquake Response Frameworks (NERFs...no, seriously) | |||
* Team service area boundaries, instead of conforming to neighborhood association boundaries, reflect the block scale areas a team decides on. | |||
* Developing a NERF: | |||
** Includes any interested NET volunteers, ATV, and neighbors inside a team service area; | |||
** PBEM develop curriculum to step teams through the arc of developing a NERF, to include initial community outreach/recruitment, progressive community involvement, response capacity analysis, and capacity planning. | |||
** PBEM develop a system of reporting for every NERF/neighborhood team, taking into account their capacity planning, and providing a resilience score.<br /> | |||
