Temples have higher usage and occupancy than a meetinghouse & have “staff”

Yep. We can barely get members to clean the bathroom let alone keep an AED up.

Church buildings need AEDs. There’s no reasonable excuse.

Apr 18, 5:30pm

I can’t believe they don’t.

Seriously. Needs to happen. How much do they run per unit?

1.5k for a "home" one.

It’s morally and ethically reprehensible to me that every chapel doesn’t have

Brother cougfanz, sounds like you're volunteering to keep your AED in your car

Bee'ei

Apr 18, 9:12pm

Yep, have one in my trunk. One in my garage as well.

cougfanz

Apr 18, 9:17pm

I respect that

Thank you. Agree 100%

No. Most are maintenance free with 2-5 year shelf life of expired components.
