Meeting Tonight: How To Purchase AED At Escambia County’s Cost
May 31, 2016
Escambia County will hold a meeting tonight to provide more information on how to purchase an automated external defibrillator (AED) at the county’s cost.
District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry and Escambia County Public Safety will host a meeting Tuesday, May 31 at 6 p.m. for groups or individuals interested in purchasing an AED for their church or business at the county’s cost.
The meeting will take place at the Walnut Hill Fire Station at 7760 Highway 97. Escambia County Public Safety Director Mike Weaver will be available to answer questions about purchasing an AED at the same cost the county received during its last bid solicitation and provide information about AED kit options and available warranty programs.
An AED will be available to view at the meeting.
The cost will be $1,317.31 for the AED and associated equipment, according to Mike Weaver. Escambia County Public Safety Director . The vendor is also offering a wall mount cabinet for an additional $99..
“By no means are we trying to ’sell’ this particular AED. It is the same AED that we have chosen for our responders, County Buildings and parks. There are other devices and distributors that may be able to offer a lower price that will be shared,” Weaver said.
An automated external defibrillator is a lightweight, portable device that delivers an electric shock through the chest to the heart. The shock can stop an irregular heart rhythm and allow a normal rhythm to resume following sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden cardiac arrest is an abrupt loss of heart function. If it’s not treated within minutes, it quickly leads to death.
According to Escambia County, AEDs are important because they make it possible for more people to respond to a medical emergency where defibrillation is required. Because AEDs are portable, they can be used by anyone who has been trained how to use them – not only by medical professionals. They can be made part of emergency response programs that also include rapid use of 9-1-1 and prompt delivery of CPR. All three of these activities are vital to improving survival from cardiac arrest.

DCF Offers Tips For Parents Selecting A Summer Camp
May 30, 2016
With school out for the summer, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) reminds parents and caregivers about precautions they can take to ensure their child has fun in a safe summer camp program.
“It’s important for children to stay active and social over summer break, and it’s equally important for parents to ensure their child’s wellbeing by checking the safety standards of all summer camp choices,” said Secretary Mike Carroll. “We encourage caregivers to look into their summer camp selections and to ask important questions before enrolling their child in a program.”
Florida law requires all camp owners, operators, employees and volunteers to submit to background screenings for state and federal criminal histories. DCF publishes a self-reported list of summer camps that have acknowledged state screening requirements on the department’s website. Though the department is not authorized to license or inspect camps, DCF investigates complaints and concerns related to background screenings.
Parents and caregivers are advised to take time to research and learn about any summer camp programs they are considering for their children. In addition to the summer camp listing, DCF has a recommended checklist of questions to ask when selecting a program. Tips include checking:
- The program’s health and safety policies and procedures
- Staff to child ratios and adequate facility settings
- Staff qualifications, training, experience and education
- The program’s license or accreditation
A list of screened camps and the complete summer camp checklist are available at www.myflfamilies.com/summercamps.
