The Portland NET Tumblr, aka "The NET Coordinator's File Cabinet", is a microblogging news blotter with posts relevant to Portland NET and the discipline of emergency management generally. PBEM recommends volunteers visit the Tumblr and scan through article headlines at least once a week, reading any articles they find particularly interesting.

The Tumblr exists to:

• Keep volunteers up to date on news around emergency management-relevant topics. This is a dynamic and frequently shifting field, after all.
• Provide supplemental information for Volunteer Support Function (VSF) topics. For example, articles related to pet rescue are tagged VSF17 for easy sorting and review.
• Serve as an emergency management research hub. Some volunteers (and non-volunteers who know our work) are researching specific EM topics. With those topics organized by tagging, researchers can find the information they need quickly.
• Recognize the amazing work of volunteers. On the Tumblr, you'll find photos and information about what your fellow NETs are doing.
• Post fun stuff. Emergency management can get pretty dour if we let it.

The Tumblr is used only for the purposes listed above. It is never used for calendar events or scheduling; that is handled through the volunteer management system and other means. This resource is free to use and 100% publicly viewable; getting a Tumblr account is not necessary.
