CERT Program Coordinator
As the CERT Program Coordinator, you are responsible for the overall success of the program for your community. But what does a Program Coordinator do? Some of your key responsibilities are listed below.
General Management
- Develop the initial plan for implementing a CERT program in the community.
- Develop forms and records or a database to track training, program participation, exercises, mailings, etc.
- Develop a budget.
- Maintain records (inventory, database of CERT members, etc.).
- Coordinate a CERT electronic newsletter or other mailings to maintain contact with current CERT volunteers.
- Establish Standard Operating Procedures for the use of CERTs in disaster and non-disaster situations.
- Evaluate the overall program.
- Gain support by marketing the plan to local leaders, unions, first responders, citizens, employers, and potential partners.
- Pitch to the media to gain public recognition of CERT capabilities and accomplishments.
- Schedule training, follow-up training, exercises, special events, etc.
- Arrange all program logistics, including classroom setup.
- Identify, recruit, train, and schedule instructors.
- Recruit class participants.
- Maintain the course content.
- Provide an orientation at the beginning of each course (very important for new programs, less important in well-established programs).
- Monitor classroom delivery.
- Evaluate training and results.
- Arrange for speakers at graduation.
- Develop supplemental classes, exercises, and projects to keep CERT members involved and improve their skills.
If you would like information regarding forming a Community Response Team in your area, please contact Debbie Blevins or Jonathan Gaddy at 256-435-0540 for more information.

I believe a great time was had by all at the drill. We all worked together as a TEAM. While the weather did get HOT during the second drill team members hung in ther to get the job DONE! We all made mistakes as was pointed out in the hotwash afterwards, but hey isn't that what training is all about? I would rather make mistakes and learn during training than make them during the REAL THING.
