A big THANK YOU to this team and Mercury Energy for their support and effort last Wednesday when LOCA installed its third AED unit!
Mitch - seen here holding this new precious box - nominated our community to his employer - Mercury Energy. It is thanks to their contribution that we have been able to provide our community with this extra unit.
A fun night with these guys learning on mannequins how to perform CPR - a great exercise and some good knowledge gained.

Another big thanks to Peak Safety - a local business who provided us these amazing mannequins - that enabled us to measure your CPR performance against an app! Peak Safety are available for anyone who wishes to extend their CPR or First Aid qualifications.
We are hoping to run further courses in the New Year, and involve our fabulous Fire Brigade again. Thanks to Kierin and his team for sharing their knowledge and wonderful patience with their coaching.
The new AED - is installed at the Lake Okareka Community Hall, just to the left of the entry to the Hall. This one is also set up for children, if required.
To access this AED, dial 111 - (as per your first instructions with CPR) and the details are explained to you. This AED has been registered on the AED locator website as well.
Much to share and learn - and we look forward to giving more of you this valuable knowledge in the future. We are lucky to now have three AED units at the Lake.

The GoodSAM (Smartphone Activated Medics) application allows trained people to sign up and respond to suspected cardiac arrests occurring within 1km of their location. The smartphone app operates in the background and will send an alert to your phone. The Lake Okareka Fire Brigade would like residents to download this app so they can get an AED to someone in cardiac arrest in Lake Okareka.
GoodSAM connects those in need with those in the local community with life saving skills to help until the emergency services arrive. By alerting first aid trained bystanders to local incidents, GoodSAM aims to prevent the irreparable brain and heart damage which all to frequently occurs during a cardiac arrest or traumatic incident.
The goal is to get an AED to a suspected cardiac arrest as soon as possible – the sooner we do the better the chances of survival for your family members, friends and neighbours.
