County Executive Matt Meyer said citizen responders, who include off-duty first responders, can make all the difference in those critical moments before first responders arrive.





“When someone’s suffering cardiac arrest, bystanders can see that, hear it and help out,” Meyer said. “Imagine if every resident knew CPR. Imagine how much shorter the time would be for you to get emergency assistance at that time when seconds matter to keep you alive.”









The app also provides a crowd-sourced countywide AED registry. Users can use the app to indicate on a map where AEDs are available in public places, add business and descriptor information and submit photos of the AED in its location.
