Make AED Locations Known

The ideal situation is to have an automated external defibrillator (AED) located close enough to every after-school practice and event so that it can be used within 3 minutes of a life-threatening emergency. Sudden cardiac arrest survival rates decrease by 10% with each minute of delay.
In addition to sharing AED locations during training sessions, you should also let your local Emergency Medical Systems (EMS) office know where AEDs are located, so they’ll know in advance if they need to respond to an emergency at your school.

Maintenance and After Care

In addition to checking for any damage following use of an AED in an emergency, you need to ensure your AEDs are working properly. We developed a checklist that can be used by the person assigned to AED maintenance at your school.

Can your school make the

This is a photo callout starting block component. It follows the 12 grid set up within this file and is set with auto layout. Its ready for styling, but currently uses H2 and the default paragraph style. The text boxes are grouped and center aligned to the photo. It will auto adust as text is added. With this default setup, photos will always be within a square frame, and adust according to the focal point.

Create Your Emergency Action Plan

Emergencies go hand-in-hand with after-school participation, so it is not a matter of if one will happen; it’s a matter of when. By having an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place for life-threatening events, you are preparing your school community to respond immediately to get the help that is needed.
