The Berkeley Disaster Team (BDT) helps prepare UC Berkeley for disasters and aids official campus disaster response. Sponsored by OEM and UCPD.
The Berkeley Disaster Team (BDT) is a student-led organization that helps prepare UC Berkeley for disasters and aids in non-medical campus disaster response. We are sponsored by the Office of Emergency Management (OEM). The BDT's Mission:
(1) PREPARE the campus for disasters through presentations and outreach
(2) TRAIN students to perform non-medical disaster response
(3) RESPOND to disasters at UC Berkeley when mobilized by the OEM
The BDT augments campus response by:
* Staffing the campus Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
* Registering and supervising spontaneous (untrained) volunteers
* Managing information and controlling rumors
* Acting as liaisons between the EOC and other organizations
* Monitoring on-the-ground conditions and relaying updates
* Managing crowds and traffic
* Organizing mass care (shelter setup and operations)
* Supporting victims through psychological first-aid
* Distributing food and supplies
