Embry-Riddle Emergency Response Team

This Friday 11/22 Orlando Air Care is scheduled to land on Richard Petty East Field. There will again be free food and possibly a couple of guest appearances from other agencies schedule permitting.

Tomorrow officially starts collegiate EMS week! We can’t wait to welcome everyone to our events every day of this week to highlight the work we do, and other EMS and first responder resources around Daytona Beach!

This week we will be raising awareness and providing education on CPR and Stop the Bleed, tabling to raise awareness about the importance of wearing a helmet and how it can prevent head injuries we regularly see on campus. We will also be opening up our vehicles and our operation to show you all what we do as well as welcoming multiple off-campus resources including Daytona Beach International Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF), Volusia County EMS, Daytona Beach Fire Department, and Orlando Air Care will be landing their helicopter on campus this Friday.

Stay tuned to our social media for updates and more information about all of these events!

ERT will remain in service during Hurricane Milton to continue to support ERAU students who are staying on campus and essential staff. If you or someone else experiences a medical emergency call (386) 226-7233 📞🚨

We hope everyone can stay safe during Hurricane Milton and remind everyone to follow any directives from local emergency management, weather alerts, and stay up to date on the latest forecasts from the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service’s Melbourne office who covers Daytona Beach and much of east-central Florida. Please follow all ERAU-enforced closures, local curfews, and other directives. We look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday, 10/14, as we resume normal operations.
