From The District Web Site:
AED – Automated External Defibrillators are located at all regional and village recreation
centers, sports pools, softball complexes and district offices.

If they do, have they been maintained and does anyone know how to use them? Just askin.

I am sure that the answers are yes and yes. But, the Recreation Department could give an official answer.

In the time of COVID, I wonder if you would get volunteers to man the AEDs. The neighborhood AED program is silent. I believe there was a memo sent to community AED groups advising Judgement and caution. Not well communicated to neighborhood families.

There are a LARGE number of neighbor AED groups with multiple members that are all trained that can and have responded to emergencies!

🤔. Hmmmm..... let a person die or coward in fear of a virus that they MIGHT have, that a person COULD catch that one COULD (But statistically unlikely) have serious complications from.

I am certified to use an AED and have been for at least a decade. I know a number of people who are as well.

If you want to know if people would volunteer, the answer is yes. I'm not part of a TV AED program because I'm not full time TV yet, but I don't know of any of the people I've ever trained with who would let someone die of sudden cardiac arrest on the chance that they might catch covid. Starting a while ago, rescue breaths were optional, and not really advised without a barrier or filter anyway. Chest compressions move air in and out, so with PPE the risk isn't that big anyway.

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.
