> WASHINGTON, D.C.  The Department of Homeland Securitys Federal
> Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is unveiling today an on-line,
> independent study course that can serve as either an introduction to
> those joining Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) or as a
> refresher to current volunteer team members.
>
> While nothing can replace the in-person training local jurisdictions
> offer to CERT volunteers, this independent course augments their
> education and serves to reinforce the knowledge theyve gained, said
> Michael D. Brown, Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Emergency
> Preparedness and Response. This new independent study course
> underscores the importance that FEMA places on CERT and its importance
> to communities across the nation.
>
> CERT members work with a communitys emergency management officials to
> provide assistance in a disaster by helping victims, organizing
> spontaneous volunteers at a disaster site and supporting emergency
> responders.
>
> Specialists at FEMAs Emergency Management Institute developed the
> course, which is part of the institutes extensive independent study
> program. The course, Introduction to Community Emergency Response Teams,
> IS 317, has six modules with topics that include an introduction to
> CERT, fire safety, hazardous material and terrorist incidents, disaster
> medical operations, and search and rescue. It takes between six and
> eight hours to complete the course; those successfully finishing it
> receive a certification of completion. The course is located at:
> www.training.fema.gov/emiweb/is/is317.asp.
>
> The course can be taken by anyone interested in CERT, but only those who
> are actual CERT volunteers can take the in-person training FEMA offers.
>
> On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland
> Security. FEMA's continuing mission within the new department is to lead
> the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage
> federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident.
> FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first
> responders, the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire
> Administration.
