Over 300,000 people die each year from sudden cardiac
arrest. Most cardiac arrests are due to an abnormal
heart rhythm called Ventricular Fibrillation (VF). Left
untreated, death follows within minutes of sudden
cardiac arrest. Defibrillation is the only known therapy
for VF. AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) are now
being used in the public setting by non-medically
trained citizens to save lives. For every minute that
someone remains in VF their chance of survival decreases
10% - but with your help, we can make a difference!

In 2000, a new Florida law was passed that creates safe
havens for parents of newborns who are considering the
abandonment of their infants. The parent may bring the
baby to one of several safe haven providers, including
fire stations and hospitals. The parent may remain
anonymous and will not be required to answer any
questions.
The City of Miami Department of Fire-Rescue is available
seven days a week, 24 hours a day to accept a newborn
infant. Once in the possession of the fire department,
the baby will be taken to a hospital, then Child
Protective Services will be called to take over its
care.

Communities all share a concern about the safety and
welfare of their youth and search for ways to keep their
young people safe. The risk of abuse, neglect, or
serious family problems jeopardize this safety and may
result in running away from home.
Project Safe Place gives youth in
crisis a safer alternative. The program
provides access to immediate help and safety to those
young people between the ages of 10 and 17.
