AV����

AV���� reports information about crimes on our campuses and in the surrounding areas to comply with the Jeanne Clery Act, known as The Clery Act. The Clery Act requires campuses to publish an Annual Security Report, which outlines the institution’s crime statistics from the past three calendar years, campus safety efforts, how to report crimes, policy statements related to safety and security on campus, and prevention efforts.

The Annual Security Report includes fire safety statistics for the campus and is published annually.

Oftentimes, bystanders may be reluctant to offer aid, especially CPR or administering Naxolone, for fear that if they do something "wrong", they will then be prosecuted or sued for injury (although unintentional) or wrongful death. The resulting delay in emergency care may be the deciding factor in the survival of a victim, and in most states, this delay is completely unwarranted.

The definition of a "good samaritan" would apply to someone who gives aid (such as first aid, CPR, AED use or administering Naloxone) in an emergency to an injured person in a voluntary capacity, without expectation of monetary compensation, and who is not considered to be a medical professional or professional rescuer. Most states have a version of the laws in place, with some variation in the details (Seattle/Washington state residents are directed to and for the full text). Some require bystanders to offer "reasonable assistance" (such as calling 911) to those in need, but all protect those who do offer aid subsequent protection against legal action. As long as the rescuer is not willfully negligent or reckless in giving aid, and gives aid in a reasonable manner, then the rescuer will not be held legally liable for the outcome. Note that if a victim refuses assistance, forcing help on them against their wishes does not offer the rescuer shelter from legal liability. In this case, the rescuer should phone 911 immediately and let police and/or medical personnel handle the situation.

During CPR and first aid classes, we make a point of instructing potential rescuers to ask the victim if they require assistance, keeping in mind that a non-responsive (unconscious) victim, by definition, consents to help from a rescuer.

This applies to first aid, CPR, administering Naloxone and especially, use of an AED. The operation of an AED may be a frightening thing for a rescuer, but just like CPR, for victims of sudden cardiac arrest it can only help, and can't be more life-threatening to the victim than the cardiac arrest itself.

We try to emphasize to our CPR and first aid students that it's much more important that they follow their training and offer aid quickly than to worry about "messing up". Victims of sudden cardiac arrest have only one hope - rapid CPR, ideally in conjunction with an AED. CPR given poorly is better than no CPR at all, but CPR given by a trained, confident, and quick-responding rescuer, along with an AED, is often the only way to save someone's life.

Naloxone (also known by the brand name Narcan) is a medication that can reverse opioid overdoses by blocking the effects of opioids and restoring breathing in minutes. This includes overdoses caused by fentanyl.

• Naloxone is available as an injection or a nasal spray and is easy to use.
• Anyone can administer naloxone – you do not need any special training.
• You cannot hurt someone by giving them naloxone if they don’t need it.
• Naloxone is safe to give to everyone, including children and pets.

The Law as it Pertains to Administering Naloxone (Narcan):

In WA State, anyone trying to help in a medical emergency is generally protected from civil liabilities by . WA State’s gives additional, specific protections against drug possession charges:

• If you seek medical assistance in a drug-related overdose, you cannot be prosecuted for drug possession.
• The overdose victim is also protected from drug possession charges.
• Anyone in WA State who might have or witness an opioid overdose is allowed to carry and administer naloxone. (RCW 69.41.095)

The key to saving a life from overdose is to get professional medical help as fast as possible. If you are witnessing a drug overdose, don’t be afraid to call 911.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the law protect against any other charges?
  No. The law does not protect you from outstanding warrants, probation or parole violations, drug manufacture or delivery, controlled substances homicide, or crimes other than drug possession.
• If I don’t call 911 but I take the overdose victim to the emergency room, will the law still apply?
  The immunity applies to any good faith effort to seek medical help such as calling 911, taking the overdose victim to an emergency room, or running to get a neighbor who is a nurse.
• Does the law apply if the person dies from the overdose?
  As long as you seek medical help in good faith, you still receive immunity from drug possession charges. However, if you are the person who gave the victim the drugs that caused the overdose, you can be charged with controlled substances homicide. If you are found guilty, however, the judge may consider your efforts to help when deciding the length of your sentence.
• Under this law, could someone under age 21 be cited for alcohol possession if they call 911 due to a likely alcohol overdose at a party?
  The 911 Good Samaritan Overdose law was amended in 2013 to also apply to alcohol poisoning. Even if you are under the age of 21, you cannot be charged with possession of alcohol as a minor if you call 911 to help someone suffering from alcohol poisoning. The victim of alcohol poisoning is also protected.
• Is naloxone legal in WA State?
  Yes. RCW 69.41.095 says any person or “entity” (e.g., police department, homeless shelter) can obtain, possess, and administer naloxone. It also permits naloxone distribution under a prescriber’s standing order.

Signs and Symptoms of Opioid Overdose

Call 911 immediately if a person exhibits any of the following opioid overdose symptoms:

• Unresponsive and can’t wake up: even when you call their name or shake them firmly.
• The person is not breathing or is not breathing normally: one breath every 3-5 seconds.
• Blue, purple or gray color in skin, lips, or fingernails
• Cold or clammy skin 

Steps for Opioid Overdose Response

1. Call 911. If the person is unresponsive, not breathing, or turning blue or gray, call 911 for emergency medical help.
   • Tell the operator your exact location.
   • Say you are with a person who is not breathing. You do not have to say anything about substances or medicines at the scene.
   • Tell the operator you are going to give the person naloxone.
   • Follow any additional instructions you get from the operator.
2. Give Naloxone. Give them one dose of naloxone every 2-3 minutes until their breathing returns to normal (normal = one breath every 3-5 seconds)
   • (nasal spray and intramuscular injection).
   • It is safe to give naloxone to someone, even if you aren’t sure they took opioids.
3. Give rescue breaths. After giving the first dose of naloxone, lay the person flat on the ground, tilt their chin upwards to open the airway, and provide one rescue breath every 5 seconds.
   • Make sure you see the person’s chest rise and fall when giving rescue breaths.
   • Chest compressions are not needed as long as the person has a pulse. If the person does not have a pulse, start chest compressions and use an automated external defibrillator (AED).
   • If you cannot give rescue breaths, start chest compressions immediately to move air into the lungs and stimulate blood flow.
     • To perform chest compressions:
       1. Place your hands on the center of the chest (on the sternum between the nipples) with one hand on top of the other.
       2. Position your body directly over your hands and center your weight over them.
       3. Press down firmly at least 2 inches deep, into the chest.
       4. Let the chest rise completely after each compression.
       5. Press down on the chest at a rate of 100-120 per minute.
4. Stay with the person until emergency help arrives. When the person wakes up from the overdose, they may not feel well and can potentially be confused. They should get medical attention and not take any more substances.
   • Naloxone wears off within 30-90 minutes. It is possible for the person to go back into the overdose once the naloxone wears off.
   • It is important to call 911. If that is not possible, stay with the person in case the naloxone wears off and additional doses are needed.
