Rutgers Division of Public Safety
sponsors the Community Emergency
Response Team (CERT) training course
that involves 20 hours of basic training
in disaster preparedness, fire safety,
disaster medical operations, light
search and rescue, disaster psychology,
terrorism, and team organization. It is
designed to prepare individuals to help
themselves and others during an
emergency prior to the arrival of
emergency services personnel and then to
work as a team in conjunction with the
professional responders |
|
|
|
The program is open to all members of
the Rutgers community and includes both
classroom instruction and a field
exercise. Our goal is to provide trained
groups of individuals that can assist
the university community during disaster
situations. The training program is
generally divided into four sessions: |
|
• |
Disaster Preparedness, Disaster
Psychology, Terrorism, and CERT Training |
|
• |
Disaster Medical Operations |
|
• |
Light Search and Rescue, and CERT
Organization |
|
• |
Fire Safety Review and Disaster
Simulation |
|
Each session begins at 9:00 AM and ends
at 3:00 PM, with a one-hour lunch break.
|
|
|
The CERT program provides valuable
knowledge and skills that can help
protect our employees, the university
community, and the communities in which
we live. For further information contact
