Community Service & Volunteering
The Berkeley Disaster Team (BDT) is a volunteer, 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. AID UC Berkeley in disasters when mobilized by the OEM
4. FOSTER interest in disaster management, preparedness, and resilience
The BDT augments campus response by:
Staffing the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and supporting ESF Operational Centers
Managing resources and disaster logistics
Supporting victims through psychological first-aid
Organizing mass care (shelter setup and operations)
Registering and supervising spontaneous (untrained) volunteers
Distributing food, supplies, and information
Interested in getting involved? Check out our website at bdt.berkeley.edu or email us at BerkeleyDisasterTeam@berkeley.edu. And follow us on Facebook page to stay in the loop about campus preparedness!
