On September 11, 2001, the residents in Battery Park City were the most impacted by the terrible events of that day. Many of our residents worked in the World Trade Center and/or lived within a hundred yards of Ground Zero. The damage, dislocation, and general chaos surrounding that day has been a motivating force in establishing the Battery Park City CERT organization.BEDFORD, NY (WESTCHESTER COUNTY)In November 2003, sixty-three members completed the FEMA CERT courses and became certified CERT members. Another 20 volunteers will begin training in 2004. Our BPC CERT's Team Supervisor and FEMA-certified CERT Train-the-Trainer, is Peter A. Morici, POC 1-347-408-5345. Battery Park City has 16,000 residents in the area from Chambers Street to Battery Park, west of West Street. The BPC CERT has two medical teams, each headed by an MD, with each having at least 2 RN's and 2 EMT's included. More than 30 members of the BPC CERT have begun a 5-month EMT training course.

In an effort to address New York City-specific conditions such as high-rise building and subway safety, an Office of Emergency Management (OEM)-led team, drawing support from the American Red Cross, New York City Fire Department (FDNY), New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), revised the existing FEMA-produced CERT curriculum and added an urban module to reflect New York City protocols in November 2003.NEW YORK CERT ADVISORY COUNCIL AND FOUNDATIONContact: New York City Office of Emergency Management

The mission of our program is to train community members and community organizations in the greater New York area in FEMA's Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) concept. Our training follows all the steps and concepts taught by FEMA through their CERT Train-The-Trainer course that our Master Instructors have been certified in. Our mission also incorporates in training corporate employees in the event of a disaster in the workplace. Our ongoing accomplishments have been the creation of the "First FEMA CERT Team in New York City", the Battery Park City CERT opposite Ground Zero. The Commissioner of the NYC OEM, John Odermatt was present for the first graduation in November, 2003 of 63 members of the "First Team". This organization works with the NYC Office of Emergency Management in achieving their objectives and ours as well.NEW YORK CITY, NY
We have also trained and created the following CERT Units in New York City, South Beach Civic CERT in Staten Island, NY, the Gateway Cathedral CERT Unit in Staten Island, N.Y and the Brooklyn South CERT Unit in Brooklyn, N.Y. Several more community organizations and businesses are presently waiting training. The uniqueness of our training program, unlike most others, is that once we create these teams we are still there ensuring that these teams practice weekly with disaster simulations, hands on medical, fire suppression, hazards materials and cribbing and leveraging. We also interface two or more teams to work together when we have their semi-annual major disaster drill and simulations.
We are the "first" to incorporate a CERT data base linking all our FEMA-trained CERT teams. In the event of a natural, man-made disaster or terrorist attack during the daytime when most members are working in Manhattan or one of the other boroughs and disaster strikes and they are unable to get to their team's staging areas, they know the staging area of the nearest FEMA CERT team and report directly there.
