=== For former NET volunteers === | |||
A NET volunteer may opt to downshift from Active NET status to ATV status. Many NET volunteers consider this move for personal reasons that impact their availability (don't have as much time as they used to, health concerns, etc). Going to ATV status is available as a medial point between full Active status and withdrawing from the program entirely. In this case, the volunteer can also re-activate at any point in the future. A NET wishing to move to ATV status should take the following actions: | |||
# '''Inform the NET Team Leader:''' The NET should first inform their TL that they plan to downshift to ATV status, whether they plan for that status change to be permanent or temporary, and what their declared VSF will be. The change should be reflected in the TL's team roster and earthquake response framework. | |||
# '''Inform PBEM:''' Next, the volunteer must email net@portlandoregon.gov to report the change in status and the declared VSF. PBEM will update the volunteer database accordingly. | |||
# If the volunteer wishes to return to Active status, they follow the steps above in reverse. Depending on the length of their absence from Active status, they may need a renewed [[Criminal Background|background check]] and ID. | |||
