On October 7, the alerting area within the integrated control center of the Nuremberg fire department was expanded to include the Nuremberg region. This means that first responders are alerted directly to sudden cardiac arrest emergencies in their area via the Lifesavers’ Region app and can bridge the time window until the emergency services arrive. In order to be able to help as efficiently as possible, the expansion of the network of publicly accessible AEDs is also part of our project NURNBERGER LAND SCHOCKT! Together with GesundheitsregionPlus Nürnberger Land, headed by Katharina Eichenmüller, District Administrator Armin Kroder and Marc Gistrichovsky from the ILS, we were able to give the go-ahead.
The project is supported by the local aid organizations, above all the Nuremberg County Association of the Bavarian Red Cross, the Jura and Nuremberg County Regional Associations of the Arbeiter Samariter Bund, the Nuremberg County Fire Brigade Association, Rummelsberg Hospital and the Nuremberg County Hospitals.
We are delighted to have so much support and hope to be able to save many lives together! Further information on the project and the opportunities to get involved as an AED sponsor or first aider can be found at nuernbergerland-schockt.de.
The Nuremberg region is now a region of lifesavers
