Join the Campus- Community Emergency Response Team (C-CERT) !
by Green & Gold News |
The Campus-Community Emergency Response Team (C-CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization and disaster medical operations.
Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, C-CERT members can
assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional
responders are not immediately available to help. C-CERT members also are encouraged
to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness
projects in their community.
Those interested will attend a multi-day comprehensive Homeland Security/ FEMA course
sponsored by UAA and the State of Alaska. Full time employees interested in joining
the C-CERT should contact Campus Emergency Manager, John Huffman at jhhuffman@alaska.edu or 907-786-1149
