# At present, ATVs are not badged for their role as an ATV or issued NET PPE. Those policies may change in the future. There are also some exceptions. For example, BEECN ATVs and HAM radio operators are issued NET badges because they have blue skies roles that require special access. | |||

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 re-activate at any point in the future. | A NET volunteer may opt to downshift from Active NET status to ATV status.

They should work with their Team Leader to decide on a VSF, encourage them to prepare their household for a disaster, and share the team's earthquake response framework with them. The Team Leader should also identify what training the ATV will need in order to be successful in their VSF role. | ||
# '''Complete the online ATV application at:''' https://app.betterimpact.com/Application?OrganizationGuid=5c003f3a-8d04-4cdf-b8c0-41627fea7871&ApplicationFormNumber=1. They should use the form on the left side for a new application. | |||
# '''Contact PBEM:''' Once the application is complete, the Team Leader (''not'' the ATV) should email [mailto:net@portlandoregon.gov net@portlandoregon.gov] and make PBEM staff aware of the application so that it can be adjusted to ATV status (otherwise, they'll remain in a status limbo). PBEM staff will send a reply confirming the activation of the ATV. | |||
