PulsePoint Respond is an innovative mobile app that can be a lifesaver in emergencies. Developed by the PulsePoint Foundation, this free app is available on the iPhone platform and can quickly inform you of emergencies in your community. The app also requests your help when cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is needed nearby.

With PulsePoint Respond, you can receive notifications of nearby “CPR Needed” emergencies. If you’re trained in CPR and willing to assist in an emergency, the app will alert you if someone near you is having a cardiac emergency and may need CPR. You can also choose to be notified of other events such as wildland fires, flooding, and utility emergencies that may impact you and your family.

In addition, the app allows you to monitor live dispatch radio traffic for most PulsePoint-connected communities with just a tap on the speaker icon. The app is end-to-end FirstNet Certified™, ensuring 99.99% availability and passing independent third-party security, data privacy, and performance audits.

Overall, PulsePoint Respond is an essential app for anyone who wants to help save lives and stay informed during emergencies. Visit pulsepoint.org for more information or join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.
