🚨❤️ Could you help save a life? ❤️🚨
Beginning July 1, Georgia's Mason Sells AED Coordination Act (SB 399) requires organizations and individuals with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to notify their local 911 center of the device's location.
AEDs are lifesaving tools used during sudden cardiac arrest, and having accurate location information allows 911 dispatchers to quickly direct callers to the nearest available device when every second counts.
If your business, church, school, recreational facility, organization, or other location has an AED, please take a few moments to register it. This simple step could help emergency responders connect someone in crisis with lifesaving equipment faster.

📍Effingham County, Report your AED location here:

The Mason Sells AED Coordination Act was inspired by the memory of Mason Sells, a Georgia college student whose family championed efforts to improve AED awareness and accessibility across the state.
Together, we can help create a safer community and improve emergency response when it matters most. 💙

A CPR training conversation worth having — right here in Georgia.

Recently, Illinois lawmakers passed legislation requiring schools to include female CPR manikins in student CPR training. While that law is specific to Illinois, the issue behind it matters far beyond one state.

Women are less likely to receive bystander CPR than men, often because people hesitate over concerns about touching, chest exposure, or doing something wrong.

That should stop all of us in our tracks.

At Coastal Empire CPR Training, we believe CPR training should prepare students and responders to act confidently for any person, in any emergency. How we train matters. The equipment we train with matters. The confidence we build in our students matters.

Georgia already places importance on CPR and AED education in schools and community settings — and this is exactly the kind of conversation we should be having here, too.

As instructors, we have the opportunity to reduce hesitation, build confidence, and help create a community of responders who are prepared to save lives without bias or uncertainty.

What do you think? Should more CPR programs include female manikins or chest overlays in training? Drop your thoughts below.
