  13. Table Groups/Teams • Each table group will remain constant for the entire course. • Each table group is a team for purposes of small group discussions, breakouts for practical exercises in the disaster simulation segments, and for teach-backs on Day 3.

  14. Pre-Test/Post-Test • Pre-test measures your CERT/C-CERT knowledge prior to this training; Post-test measures learning from this course. • Tests are required by DHS—we report only average aggregate results. • We ask you to include your names for our own administrative purposes at MSU. • Tests are not Pass/Fail, no minimum score required—not used for Instructor Certification.

  15. Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) • Created by Los Angeles Fire Dept. in 1985 following earthquake disasters. • Adopted by FEMA in 1993 for national, all-hazards applications. • CERT established in cities, counties, corporations, campuses nationwide. • C-CERT is a targeted version of CERT, intended to operate as a partner with national, state and local CERT programs.

  16. Citizen Corps • Partner Programs: • CERT • Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) • Neighborhood Watch • Fire Corps • Medical Reserve Corps • State/local/campus Citizen Corps Councils

  17. C-CERT and the National Preparedness Program • Citizen and community preparedness are vital elements of national preparedness and homeland security. • Citizen Corps and CERT contribute. • National Preparedness program based on HSPD-8, National Preparedness Goal, and other documents.

  18. C-CERT Program Development • Competitive 2-year Training Grant from DHS-G & T awarded 10/1/05. • Instructor cadre, draft Campus Annex and C-CERT Web site developed. • 3 pilot programs conducted and evaluated by SMEs. • Final course review, DHS course approval and certification in April 2007.

  19. C-CERT “Train-the-Trainer” • Not intended to make you “master CERT instructors” to teach other CERT instructors. • Should prepare you to coordinate or teach basic CERT directly to your C-CERT members, or other basic CERT programs. • Currently no national standard curriculum or CERT instructor certification.

  20. Training Prerequisites • Basic CERT or current CERT instructor are required. • IS-317 Introduction to CERT may be accepted in lieu of basic CERT. IS-317 does not equate to basic CERT training, but does familiarize participants with CERT terms and concepts. • IS-100 Introduction to Incident Command System (ICS) and IS-700 National Incident Management System is required.

  21. Web-Based Resources • Citizen Corps • www.citizencorps.gov • CERT • www.citizencorps.gov/cert • C-CERT • www.c-cert.msu.edu

  22. Conducting CERT Training at your Campus • Various reasons for attending here, and different roles in C-CERT training back home. • OK—and encouraged—to use guest, adjunct or contractual instructors in a team approach. • Make sure all follow the CERT curriculum.

  23. SUMMARY • Consider methods of working with your local Citizen Corps. • Develop an awareness of the National Preparedness Program. • Throughout the program consider how you will develop your C-CERT program. • Work to develop and improve your Train-the-Trainer skills.
