Dangerous heat is expected over the next few afternoons. Extreme heat can become life-threatening in a short time. Stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day, wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing, and never leave children or pets in an unattended vehicle.

On December 13, 2007, Congress passed a resolution designating June 1-7 as National CPR & AED Awareness Week to spotlight how lives can be saved when more Americans know CPR and how to use an AED.

Each year, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside of hospitals in the United States. When cardiac arrest happens, every minute matters. Immediate CPR from a bystander can double or even triple a person’s chance of survival.

This week serves as a reminder that survival from sudden cardiac arrest depends not only on training and technology, but also on willingness of bystanders to take action when every second counts.

In partnership with Badgerland Emergency Medical Services and Tomah Area Ambulance Service, we have launched PulsePoint Respond and PulsePoint AED mobile apps in Monroe County.

🔹𝐏𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝 empowers CPR-trained citizens by alerting them to nearby suspected cardiac arrest emergencies and directing them to the closest publicly accessible AED.
🔸𝐏𝐮𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐄𝐃 helps communities build a stronger AED registry so lifesaving devices can be located faster during emergencies.

Community members are encouraged to download these free lifesaving apps, and local businesses are encouraged to register their AEDs to help make emergency response faster and more effective.

Get the app. Register an AED. Help save a life.
