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.
