DEO – Discover Emergency Operations
Discover Emergency Operations is an introduction to the emergency response effort at MIT and in the greater Boston area. Through DEO, you will experience what it’s like to be an EMT, a firefighter, and a police officer through multiple different agencies including MIT EMS, Pro EMS, Cambridge Fire, and MIT Police. You will also learn about other aspects of emergency management including first responder dispatch and disaster preparedness. In DEO, you’ll get a first-hand look at what it takes to save lives! We’re also here to help you learn about life at MIT from people who know it best — fellow students.
