When a cardiac emergency happens, every second matters. The Placentia Fire and Life Safety Department encourages residents to learn about PulsePoint, a mobile app designed to help strengthen the chain of survival in our community. PulsePoint can alert CPR-trained individuals when someone nearby is experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest in a public location. These alerts give nearby users an opportunity to provide lifesaving CPR while firefighters and paramedics are responding to the emergency. The app can also help users locate nearby Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), which can play a critical role in helping someone experiencing cardiac arrest. By connecting trained community members with emergencies and lifesaving resources nearby, PulsePoint helps turn everyday citizens into an additional layer of support during those crucial first few minutes PULSEPOINT: HELPING SAVE LIVES IN OUR COMMUNITY
Residents are encouraged to download the PulsePoint Respond app, enable notifications, and become familiar with CPR and AED use. Even if you are not currently CPR trained, learning these lifesaving skills can help you be prepared when someone needs help most. A few minutes can make a difference. With PulsePoint, our community can be ready to respond when every second counts.
