- Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)
"The Community Emergency Response Team (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, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community."

"The basic idea is to use CERT to perform the large number of tasks needed in emergencies. This frees highly trained professional responders for more technical tasks. Much of CERT training concerns the Incident Command System and organization, so CERT members fit easily into larger command structures.
A team may self-activate (self-deploy) when their own neighborhood is affected by disaster. An effort is made to report their response status to the sponsoring agency. A self-activated team will size-up the loss in their neighborhood and begin performing the skills they have learned to minimize further loss of life, property, and environment. They will continue to respond safely until redirected or relieved by the sponsoring agency or professional responders on-scene.
Teams in neighborhoods not affected by disaster may be deployed or activated by the sponsoring agency. The sponsoring agency may communicate with neighborhood CERT leaders through an organic communication team. In some areas the communications may be by amateur radio, FRS, GMRS or MURS radio, dedicated telephone or fire-alarm networks. In other areas, relays of bicycle-equipped runners can effectively carry mail between the teams and the local emergency operations center."
CERT Team Member Roles
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommends that the standard, ten-person team be comprised as follows:
▪ CERT Team Leader
▪ Safety Officer
▪ Fire Suppression Team (2 people)
▪ Search and Rescue Team (2 people)
▪ Medical Triage Team (2 people)
▪ Medical Treatment Team (2 people)
CERT Training
While state and local jurisdictions will implement training in the manner that best suits the community, the Citizen Corps CERT program has an established curriculum. Jurisdictions may augment the training, but are strongly encouraged to deliver the entire core content. The Citizen Corps CERT core curriculum for the basic course is composed of the following nine units (time is instructional hours):
▪ Unit 1: Disaster Preparedness (2.5 hrs)
▪ Unit 2: Fire Safety (2.5 hrs)
▪ Unit 3: Disaster Medical Operations part 1 (2.5 hrs)
▪ Unit 4: Disaster Medical Operations part 2 (2.5 hrs)
▪ Unit 5: Light Search and Rescue Operations (2.5 hrs)
▪ Unit 6: CERT Organization (1.5 hrs)
▪ Unit 7: Disaster Psychology (1 hr)
▪ Unit 8: Terrorism and CERT (2.5 hrs)
▪ Unit 9: Course Review and Disaster Simulation (2.5 hrs)

Not much for the radio, but I'm glad to see CERT being represented. I took the CERT class for my county and it was well worth my time. I gained valuable information and knowledge that I will carry with my for a long time. I feel better prepared to handle a disaster because of it.
Thanks for the video USNERDOC!
I should note that the class is not just for the young. People of all ages will benefit from the information given.

Boy o boy you are one valuable asset to both this community and to your home community. I love these vids. I am hoping to get started in HAM the first of next year. Have a great day and be safe Doc. 73's
Look forward to learning more about HAM.

Thanks for more radio info
Oh man.. it was SOOO worth watching this one through to the end.. I hope you do a vid on that camera set up, it really produces a great video. I am very interested in any feedback on those articulated tripods (sorry to go off topic)
fun Doc! Did not know such a thing as CERT even existed. Thx
nice video...i am a CERT member it is an awesome group to be in.
THanks for the Ham vid Doc, I really need to look into this como system u have. I ama member of my local CERT here in san jose CA. hmhmhm. Keep up the geat work brother
@TheLateBoyScout
Looking forward to that !
Do you have a video on the equipment you have there? I though HAM radios were big bulky pieces of equipment. That is cool. I guess you also have a video on how to get started?
Great vid! Can you give a quick vid on "How To" get started in ham radio?
Doc,
Gotta love being in CERT and Amateur Radio - they belong together. I'm glad, I too got involved with the Eugene-Springfield CERT down the road from you. Its enjoyable and also fun. But, like you being a ER Doc and me being a Volunteer Firefighter and getting involved with our communities it makes the service to our family, neighbors and friends our lives just a tad better in the service we to the community as a whole.
73's,

Most people wont get a "Ham" license, but I guess they can get receivers such as "shortwave", "longwave", "AM". Those with receivers will be valuable as information relay in a "shtf" situation. Probably "AM" radio stations will go down then, so maby "Ham" operators can broadcast to the population some news over "AM" radio that most people have, or should have by now. Other good ones are CB and FRS radios also, since no phone service available then.
Hey this is really nice. Glad to see that people are preparing.
@rooftopeagle Go for it rooftopeagle. There are a great bunch of people in Ham radio.
Doc, great video! Do you have any problems with your transmissions bleeding over into sattelite orair transmissions like radio, TV?
Hi Doc!
I just started CERT training (Novi, MI) last week and I'm really excited. And I'm also slowly getting into HAM, although, to be honest, it's a little bit over my head. Haha. I just wanted to let you know that I REALLY like your channel. And you've really motivated me to follow my interests.
Thanks Doc. Best wishes to you and yours.
cool video doc looks like a srh 77ca on that vx-8 im shure if you did a video well all here one you tube land will love it like all your other videos 73's pall
Awesome video!!
@GearBuyersGuide That was a "Gorillapod" and there are many types now. You can get the specs on the photography ones at ThinkGeek . Com under "electronics/cameras-photography".
cool mus stash.
I am relatively new to ham radio having just received my General License a couple of months ago. These regularly scheduled nets never cease to be interesting. I can not imagine very many places in the U.S. that are not within range of some 2 meter net. What's more, are the daily High Frequency (HF) Nets that reliably connect people that are within 1000 miles of each other-requiring nothing more than a radio. These (2 meter & HF) nets seem to make people a part of large families every day.
Nice CERT! We have CERT here as well but It is currently well under the radar on Long Island and NYC. We have a regional team of maybe 50 people. Guess because there are so many first responders and they have handled everything so far people have no need for CERT
If I were to get into ham radio what would be a good first set up?
Do you have a solar charger like a Brunton if the power goes out for your radio?
ihikearound may i ask what CERT team you are with? I am a. Member of Suffolk County CERT
Nice, This I will share with my 7th grade students. I can incorporate it into Hurricane preparedness which is apart of the NYS intermediate Science Curriculum
thanks for sharing!
@hooya1111 - COOL!
@1TacticalMedic - No, although I did check out their website after getting your comment! My watch is made by TruGlo. I did a short review on the watch perhaps 6 months ago. If you do a search on my YT channel for TruGlo you will find all the details.
I'm in CERT training in Elgin, IL. Am also ham radio general. I hope we have a 2m net here as well.
Great Video
It's called Community Emergency Response Team.
Great Vidio Sir.
I joined CERT in May of 2013, here in Los Angeles County. I'm also Disaster Communications Service (DCS) for the county as well.

Thanks for the great video, Doc. I just sub'd. I am retired, and in good health, so I am enrolling in CERT, S.A.R. trng. with my 5 mo. old Labrador
pup , and just ordered a Wouxun KG-UV8D HT. Currently studying for my tech. class HAM lic. My mil. medic trng. may come I handy too.
Hey, I am a civilian emergency responder and I just got into the business and I will be getting called in i believe into the new jersey hurricane call. I am wondering to exactly what type of job I should have or what you recommend since my current job. I am uncertain if they are ok with me becoming part of the CERT. Let me know if you know anything.
I stress the importance of ham in my training and videos.
Im a ham and currently in a CERT course....wonder if this would fly in the New Orleans area......
@ihikearoundcom - I am working on an intro series to HAM radio, as well as, emergency go-bags and portable / emergency power.
If you are a Ham operator you can also join your ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) and/or RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service). I am a member of CERT and ARES. No conflict, they compliment each other very well.
i dont understand the 2meter and all those word when people talk about this subject
@civsheepdog - I will address this in a future video.
where do you buy one of those radios im looking to join the CERT team i my area im also a volunteer firefighter
wow that shows me that if thay need the Community for emergency assest that thay muct have a crapy police and fire and ems departments
