Heart safe neighborhood

Heart for the neighborhood!

Imagine: your neighbor has a cardiac arrest. You save his life! How does that feel? With an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) nearby, you can save lives and increase the chance of survival. Here we explain why it is important to have an AED in your neighborhood and how you can contribute to a heart-safe environment.

Why an AED nearby?

  • Rapid assistance in case of cardiac arrest

Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, and every second counts. With an AED nearby, rapid intervention is possible, which is crucial for survival. Having an AED ensures that help is always nearby and that immediate action can be taken.

Accessible to everyone

The AED is available to everyone in the area, regardless of where the person in need of help is located. This means that both emergency responders and neighbors can intervene immediately. With the right training and an AED nearby, everyone can make a difference.

  • Support for the 112 emergency call center

In an emergency, it is important that the assistance is well organized. The AED can be deployed with the support of the 112 Control Room, which can advise on how to act and where the nearest AED is located. This makes the assistance even more effective.

How can you contribute?

  • Join your neighbors

Together with your neighbors, you can purchase an AED and place it in a central location in the residential area. This is a valuable investment in the safety of the community. For more information on how to do this, contact AEDwijzer .

  • Training and education

In addition to having an AED, it is important that neighbors know how to use it. Organize trainings together so that everyone in the neighborhood knows how to act in an emergency. Check the website of the Hartstichting for resuscitation trainings and courses.
