Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT)

The Campus Emergency Response Team (CERT) is an essential group of trained volunteers who support the safety and preparedness of the Lower Columbia College community. CERT members play a critical role during emergency drills and actual incidents, working to ensure the well-being of students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

CERT members can be activated and deployed by the Emergency Operations Team (EOT) during both drills and emergencies. With regular training, updates, and refresher sessions, CERT members remain prepared to respond effectively to a variety of situations and ensure clear, coordinated actions across campus.

The CERT team is a vital part of Lower Columbia College's commitment to fostering a safe and resilient campus environment.
