June 1-7 is National CPR and AED Awareness Week. Do your part by learning hands-only CPR, then download the PulsePoint app and turn on the “CPR-Needed” alerts. With your phone's location settings set to “always,” you will be notified of nearby AEDs and cases of sudden cardiac arrest where help may be needed until EMS can arrive on the scene.

Rökker was a speaker at last year's Dane County Survivor Celebration. His story shows the importance of learning Hands-Only CPR, along with being prepared to use an AED. Learn those skills and be ready to use them by downloading the PulsePoint app, which can notify you about nearby sudden cardiac arrests in public spaces.

May 17-23 is Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Week and we want to thank everyone serving on the frontlines of providing care. The men and women who work in EMS here in Dane County and across the nation play an important part in saving lives.

The theme of EMS Week this year is “Improving Outcomes, Together.” It offers an opportunity to focus on the many ways EMS providers collaborate across disciplines to serve the best interests of patients. Thank you!

Dane County EMS was thrilled to stand alongside County Executive Melissa Agard Monday, as she announced Rescue 31 is ready for service. This new county-owned ambulance will serve as a backup for municipal EMS providers throughout Dane County, allowing them to continue providing service when one of their own ambulances is unavailable.

With severe weather in forecast tonight, stay informed and stay alert!

Cell phones, weather radios, local media, and outdoor warning sirens are all great ways to get severe weather alerts, but you should never rely on a single source. Have multiple ways to know, especially late at night when you may be fast asleep!
