Certified fire house AEDs as overdose harm reduction

The FY2025 report certifies one program at 18,543.61 expended. Its name and recipient are N/A. Its description is "Purchase of Heart Start Onsite AED & Accessories." It is filed under Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention, with the primary problem Reduction of Overdose Related Deaths and the Schedule B strategy Prevent Overdose Deaths and Other Harms. Its performance indicator is "One time purchase of AEDs." Asked how the program addresses opioid use disorder, it answers N/A. The FY2026 report certifies First Responders Readiness at 27,704.00 expended, with the recipient Hamilton Township Fire Houses and the same description. It is again filed under Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention, with Treatment as a second category and 15 individuals served. The two reports certify 46,247.61 of opioid abatement funds spent on AEDs and accessories. An AED treats cardiac arrest. Exhibit E names naloxone and other drugs that treat overdoses, not defibrillators. No overdose program using this equipment is documented, and no listed use covers it. The Township has produced no ledger, so the payments behind the two figures cannot be traced.
