SUBJECT:

Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT) Academy Training

In September UC San Diego will host its second annual Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT) Academy. CERT training equips members with emergency-response skills through an association with local city-sponsored Community Emergency Response Team training programs. During a crisis, CERT members can provide immediate assistance to victims, organize volunteers at a disaster site and give critical support to first responders. CERT members also participate in non-emergency projects that improve the safety of the campus community, including in campus emergency preparedness exercises.

To learn more about CERT and how you can become involved, see the Blink pages below:
