An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and is able to treat them through defibrillation—the application of electricity which stops the arrhythmia—allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. With easily understandable instructions, AEDS are design to be simple to use by anyone. AED devices can be found in the following locations:
- Outside Room 060
- Outside the Human Resources Department—Near Room 136
- Outside the East Hall Faculty Lounge—Room 405
- Outside the Library—Near Restrooms—Room 500 area

Edison State Community College has partnered with Rave Mobile Safety to provide an emergency alert system called Edison Alerts. All current students, faculty and staff are automatically enrolled in the program. Upon enrollment, an email notification from Edison Alerts will be sent to your Edison State email account, prompting you to complete the registration process. It is necessary to complete the registration process in order to receive Edison Alerts by text, phone and/or personal email.
Edison Alerts is information provided to you, including campus closings, weather alerts or an emergency situation such as a bomb threat or active shooter.
RAVE Guardian is a free app that enables you to provide information Edison State, including threatening or suspicious behavior, parking lot accidents or medical emergencies. Visit the Department of Public Safety for more information.
If deemed necessary, a campus-wide alert will be issued in the event a situation arises that may institute a threat—either on or off campus. Students, faculty, staff and other registered uses will receive a warning through the Edison Alerts system. Depending upon the particular circumstance(s) of the situation—and especially in all situations that could pose an immediate threat to the community and/or individuals—a notice may be posted on the College website and social media channels.
