1. What is a college campus CERT is most likely to focus on?

• Which campus department (academic or otherwise) will administer and manage

the CERT program? Who will ultimately make decisions about the program and

provide direction and guidance?

• How will you fund the program? Will the college or university provide funding?

• Will you only make the training available on your campus (possibly through a forcredit course or as an extracurricular activity), or develop a CERT program with

teams and volunteers that can be activated during emergency and nonemergency events?

• Will you work with a local CERT program (in the surrounding county, for

example) for any part of your program? Would they be able to provide

instructors? Should you coordinate or align activation procedures with them? Is it

more efficient for your program to function as an extension of the existing local

CERT program, as opposed to a standalone program?

• Will the college or university’s insurance plan(s) cover CERT participants during

training and volunteer activities? Does your state have “Good Samaritan” laws?

Are students and participating faculty/staff covered differently by insurance

policies or the law? What steps will you take to mitigate risks and liability? At the

very least, all participants should sign waivers of liability.

• How will teams of volunteers align and integrate with the existing emergency

response capabilities on campus?
