What is CERT?

CERT (Campus Emergency Response Team) is a program that better prepares people to handle hazards and trains them in basic disaster response skills. CERT teams are comprised of volunteers who safely assist people in the campus community when first responders may not be able to do so.

The purpose of CERT is to enhance capabilities and resilience by providing assistance to members of the campus community excluding first responders.
