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 can be found on ready.gov'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
