Four New Defibrillator Locations

Everyone has the right to access lifesaving defibrillators.

That’s why we have installed new defibrillator units at four public locations. Three sit outside our three main office buildings in Hastings, Mornington and Rosebud.

The fourth location has been placed in Shoreham and can be found at the corner of Lexington Avenue and Viewbank Street. This 24/7 accessible unit was funded through our Flexi Grants program, following advocacy from the Shoreham Community Association, who are committed to increasing the number of accessible defibs throughout their community.

On top of these four new outdoor locations, we also have a defibrillator inside each of our three main office buildings, located in the Customer Service foyer.

This initiative is one of the many efforts by our Community Resilience and Emergency Management team. Earlier in February, we deployed our Emergency Relief Trailer to Red Hill, in response to recent damaging storms.
