As an AED coordinator in LaBelle North, we did receive some direction about responding to emergencies, such as people over 65 should not respond. As a coordinator, I have instructed responders that once AEDs and 4 responders are at the scene all others leave. We keep 2 outside and no more than 2 inside. The people outside direct traffic and/or make sure the road is clear for the first responders. Masks are in each AED. With proper precautions, we still respond in hopes of saving a life.
There are AEDs in all rec centers and pools with the exception of neighborhood pools. We solved that problem and put an AED on the neighboring property to the mailboxes and pool. I hope this helps.
