Thank you so much for being interesting in joining MIT’s Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT)! Ultimately we hope to build a presence in all main campus buildings, so that in the event of an emergency we have a network of people in place that can help to manage the event on location until disaster responders arrive, or to evacuate the building if necessary. To do this we first need to build a capable team, and that's where you come in!
Started in the 80’s in California, CERT is a program whose main mission is to do the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people. Information about the mission and background of CERT and some CERT FAQ’s can be found on FEMA’s website.
The full training manual is available for review and download online. Binders with all course materials will be provided to participants.
This training material was developed by FEMA and it takes 20 hours to complete. The training covers the following segments:
One – Disaster Preparedness
Two – Fire Safety
Three – Disaster Medical Operations 1
Four – Disaster Medical Operations 2
Five – Search and Rescue
Six – CERT Organization and Disaster Psychology
Seven – Terrorism and CERT
Eight – Course Review and Exercise
Sponsor(s): Security and Emergency Management Office
