Checklist for Early Access Preparedness
  1. Are you prepared to recognize an emergency situation and call 911?

  2. Can you identify the symptoms and differences between SCA and heart attack?

  3. Do you know how long it takes for 911 to respond in your community? If it's longer than a few minutes, find out how you could improve response times.

  4. Do you have hindrances to EMS getting access to your community/company? (i.e. security, high-rise, remote location)

  5. Does your community have enhanced 911 coverage? If not, find out how you could obtain it.
