Heather reviewed the education portion of the District's program. For grade school-aged students, they developed 13 lessons to teach fire and life safety messages while linking to grad- level learning standards. Free videos, instructor guides and enrichment materials are all online. The District partners with local organizations to help teach safety messages, be involved in civic events and community parades. The District is actively connected on social media. Ron followed up with a Zoom demonstration of proper CPR methods and facts. Cardio-pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OCHA) facts were shared with our Club. 475,000 people die of cardiac arrest in the United States annually. More than 350,000 of cardiac arrests occur outside of the hospital. 70% of OCHA occur at the home and when bystanders administer CPR, 45% of out-of-hospital victims survive. Ron demonstrated Hands-Only CPR and the two-step method. Step 1 is to call 9-1-1. Step 2 push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of a familiar song and aim for 100 to 120 times per minute. Ron demonstrated the process using a mannequin. Great presentation. Hopefully, next year, all of this can be done at an in-person meeting.
