Lynnhaven South AED Program
(Livingston Loop & Evelynton Loop)
Dear Neighbors:
The Lynnhaven South
AED Program is in place and active!
The
new program encompasses all Livingston Loop
and Evelynton Loop areas. Thanks to so many of you who
have contributed! We were able to purchase 10 AEDs. Our goal was to
place the AEDS strategically throughout the area so each house is
within 850 feet of an AED. However, we are
still collecting funds to meet the budget for the next four years.
We have 58 Responders who will help when there
is a
sudden
cardiac arrest (SCA) anywhere within our community. Our
goal is to respond within 60-90 seconds to begin CPR and use an AED,
if indicated. The average time for EMS arrival from our Parr Street
station is seven minutes. Two minutes after a SCA, the chance of
survival drops 10% without CPR.
We
have several Responder snowbirds
and are looking for substitutes
for them during their absence. If you are willing to help for six
months during the summer months,
please let us know.
To
increase
chances of survival, we have decided to include our entire area
even though there were a few places where people decided not to
contribute. Because the system is based on streets and house
numbers, we don’t want to leave any area out. We want to provide as
much protection to everyone whether they are walking, riding a bike,
working in their yard, or in their home.
We
are
hoping
to have many more residents contribute. Make checks to
Lynnhaven South AED Program. Our
budget is based on everyone contributing $105 for four years, but
many residents have contributed $125 or more to help people who are
unable to give the full amount.
If you have any
questions or are willing to be a
Responder during the summer, please email
