The Daily Bulletin

Buffalo State is looking for volunteers to join the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). The CERT program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may affect their area and trains them in basic disaster response. Using training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available. CERT members are also encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.

CERT is also fun! New member training begins Thursday, February 16. All faculty and staff members are welcome. Sign up as soon as possible using the links below. All four sessions are required to become a CERT member, so be sure to register for all sessions. Some preparation must be completed ahead of time as well. Details will be sent to you after you sign up.

Cleveland Hall 418
