The go-bag is full
and the AED pads are in date.

Walk the building once a term and check each kit: count what is there against what is needed, enter expiry dates and run the six-point kit check. Shortages, expired pads and items expiring soon go straight onto an order list.

Suggested intervals for planning, not a rule: use the AED maker’s schedule and your district’s emergency operations plan where they say otherwise.

AEDs

An AED only helps if it is ready: the status indicator shows it passed its self-test, and the pads and battery are within their dates. The maker’s instructions say how often to look; many schools check monthly and keep child pads or a child key where young students are present.

Go-bags and rosters

The first thing a teacher needs after an evacuation is the class roster with emergency contacts, to account for every student. Rosters change all year, so checking them is part of every kit check. Water, light, a whistle and a first aid kit cover the rest of the first hour.
