Defibrillator – Black Mountain Community

On Sunday, 23 April members of the Rotary Club of Cooroy officially handed over a defibrillator to members of the Black Mountain Road community isolated as a result of last year’s landslide that has caused emergency response times to increase significantly. Residents have been concerned that such delays could be a matter of life and death, especially for someone suffering a major episode such as a heart attack.
With the road forecast to remain closed for some considerable time, travel time for emergency vehicles has increased from around10 minutes to 30 minutes in the event of a 000 call. With the kind permission of local residents Owen and Amy Langley the defibrillator has been strategically located where it can be accessed 24/7. Its use could be critical while awaiting an emergency response from an ambulance.
The Club is pleased to have been able to help with funding from the Noosa Council through the jointly funded Australian and Queensland Government Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
Meeting weekly here in Cooroy with like-minded people, Rotarians have the expertise and contacts to make things happen. We are supporting local charities, helping to eradicate polio worldwide, we’re providing disaster relief, improving youth opportunities locally and globally, and having a great time doing so.
