'''Starting Your Shift'''

Come to the DPW at the start of your shift, check in with the Shift Lead and meet the other volunteers. If you happen to come late and the team has already left to go do a task, find someone with a radio (the Rangers are nearby) and ask them to radio for the DPW Shift Lead to find out where to meet up with them.

'''What to Bring with You'''

Please wear cover-toed shoes to protect your feet. Wear clothing that you wouldn't mind getting dirty. Bring your water bottle, a hat (in case you end up doing work in the sun) and sunglasses if you need them. If it's raining bring whatever rain-gear you need. Bring a snack if you will need to replenish your energy (we will also have some snacks at the DPW, but if you have a very specific diet or dietary restrictions you may want to bring your own just in case).

We have work gloves for folks, but if you have your own you may want to bring them with you.

'''During Shift Tasks'''

* puts trail lights along paths throughout the event grounds

* helps the lead who is doing generator and power distribution lay down extension cables and cable ramps

* gathers all the water coolers for each core, filling them up, and delivering them to the various HQs

* helps transport Art with UTVs

Throughout The Event DPW:

** DPW deploys ground protection mats to various areas to protect the integrity of the ring road

** deploys gravel to spots on the main vehicle accessible trails if they are getting washed out

During Exodus Sunday DPW:

* picks up all trail lights before cars start coming up the hill so they don't get driven over and crushed
