Emergency Response Stations

Overview

RIT has emergency response stations across campus. These stations are designed to provide quick access to life-saving equipment. They are strategically located throughout campus to ensure they are easily accessible. 

Included in Each Station

Each station is equipped with and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and Naloxone (also known by the brand name Narcan).

An AED is used to help someone who is experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Watch the Phillips HeartStart Demo Video to learn more about how an AED works.

Naloxone, also known as Narcan is a medicine that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose.

Locations

We encourage you to familiarize yourself with the locations of these emergency response stations by searching "AED" in the RIT Interactive Campus Map. Signage will also be posted on entrance doors in each building to indicate the nearest station.

In addition to the above list, all Public Safety vehicles are equipped with an AED.

The areas below also contain AED's that are for use by trained responders in those areas

While proper training is required, bystanders can still play a crucial role by following the instructions provided at the station to assist until trained personnel arrive. In the event of an emergency: 

• Immediately contact Public Safety at 585-475-3333 or text 585-205-8333
•  Utilize TigerSafe, the official safety app for the RIT community

All certified AED responders must complete a recognized AED/CPR program.
