Elk County Launches PulsePoint
Are you CPR Certified ?
Did you ever wish you could help someone in need of CPR ?
Elk County is proud to partner with the Allegheny Health Network / St. Vincent Hospital to bring to our residents
PulsePoint is comprised of 2 APPS that can be downloaded to your cell phone (either IOS or Android).
The PulsePoint RESPOND APP is used to notify you when a cardiac arrest is occurring at a public location within ¼ mile of where you are currently located. The purpose of this is to alert CPR trained individuals that they may be able to help someone in need while first responders are going to the scene. Seconds count in these situations; so being able to begin CPR at the earliest possible time is the goal. You will never be sent to someone's private residence - only public locations.
The PulsePoint AED APP allows a user to assist in creating a registry of AED machines and their locations. This assists 911 to inform responders / callers of the location of any nearby AED machines during a crisis.
More information, including downloads, is available at www.pulsepoint.org.

Project Lifesaver
What do people who suffer from Alzheimer’s, dementia, autism and down syndrome all have in common?....... The tendency to wander.
Project Lifesaver is an award winning program consisting of police, sheriff, fire, public safety departments and other emergency responders. The individual with tendencies to wander wears a small transmitter on their wrist or ankle that emits a tracking signal. It looks similar to a watch, but sends out one of three transmissions: radio frequency, global positioning system (GPS) or assisted global positioning system. When the individual is missing, a call is made to Project Lifesaver to explain the situation. They, in turn, will contact local responders with coordinates of the individual based on the tracking signal being sent. The responder now knows exactly where to look, saving crucial time.
More information including how you can help is located on the Sheriff's Webpage.
