PulsePoint Respond is a 911-connected app that can immediately inform you of emergencies occurring in your community and can request your help when CPR is needed nearby.

PulsePoint helps create an informed and engaged community that drives a “Culture of Action,” a key strategy in strengthening the Chain of Survival for cardiac arrest victims. In addition to nearby “CPR-needed” notifications, you can choose to be notified of significant events that may impact you and your family. These informational notifications provide an early heads-up to local threats such as wildland fires, flooding and utility emergencies. You can even monitor live dispatch radio traffic for most PulsePoint-connected communities with a simple tap on the speaker icon.

PulsePoint currently provides coverage for thousands of cities and communities, with many more on the way. For more information, visit pulsepoint.org, contact us at [email protected], or join the conversation at Facebook and Twitter.

PulsePoint not yet available in your community? Although we are working hard to make public safety agencies aware of PulsePoint, you can help by expressing interest to your local fire chief, EMS official, and elected officials such as your mayor, council member or supervisor. A simple note, phone call or public meeting comment would ensure that they are aware of PulsePoint. We have found that City Hall does listen and is quite willing to bring PulsePoint to the community.

PulsePoint is a 501©(3) public non-profit foundation.

I find the UI to be somewhat clunky, and it can be tricky to get notifications to work properly, but overall, it is a fantastic app, that works as advertised. Even if you're not a first responder, knowing where certain incidents are can be very helpful. The cpr notification doesn't work at all, it continuously "notifies" me that it's on, which becomes annoying in minutes, causing me to disable it. As an AEMT, this feature would be great... If it worked.

I like to be able to use this app to avoid roads congested by wrecks, etc, or know if we have to leave for work earlier. However, I live right near a fire station and can hear the sirens when they go out, and quite often, it is never posted on this app. I'm not sure how they get their info, but there's a lag there somewhere. I do like that I have the ability to see the traffic cams on the interstate, though. Google Maps isn't always accurate on how backed up they are after a wreck has cleared.

There wasn't any guide when I uploaded the app & figuring out the stations I needed to follow in the unincorporated areas wasn't all that easy. You get to choose the type of reports you get and can adjust the amount of types at any time. Plus, if you're qualified, you can be notified to go to locations where immediate CPR is needed. Ended up with 2 in order to get the coverage needed. There are a lot of reports. The app is Great! Recommend Highly!
