"Get an AED!"

You know what to do when someone shouts “fire” in a crowded movie theater, but do you know what do to if someone shouts, “Get the AED!”

· What does AED stand for?

· What is it?

· What does it look like?

· Where is it?

· What is it for?

· Who is required to have them?

· How do you use one?

Just as you can answer all of the above questions were they to pertain to an exit sign, you should be able to answer them for AEDs. Just as you take notice of the exit signs when you are in a public place, take notice of the AEDs.
