PulsePoint Respond
Description
PulsePoint Respond is a 911-connected mobile app that can immediately inform you of emergencies occurring in your community and can request your help when cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is needed nearby. If you’re trained in CPR and are willing to assist in an emergency, the app will alert you if someone near you is having a cardiac emergency and may need CPR. In addition to nearby “CPR Needed” notifications, you can choose to be notified of other events that may impact you and your family, such as wildland fires, flooding and utility emergencies. You can also monitor live dispatch radio traffic for most PulsePoint-connected communities with a simple tap on the speaker icon. PulsePoint currently provides coverage for thousands of communities in North America, with many more on the way. For more information, visit pulsepoint.org, contact us at info@pulsepoint.org.

User Reviews
This app acctully uses RTD ( Real Time Dispatch) to show calls it it’s useful when I’m not on duty as a Fire chief and I can see all the calls that are not at my station and other places or when I am unavailable because I also am a YouTuber in gaming
I have been signed up for several years and have never received any alerts at all.
I wanted to give you all a 5-STAR review. I’m aware that you can only do what you can do and respond to what you can on this site. I very much appreciate first responders and I only hope for the future that this website will exist. Thank you and you’re doing a great job. Cheers.
This app can tell me where these emergencies are and if there’s a car crash, I would tell me and I wouldn’t need to go by there so I could get stuck in traffic. It’s awesome go download this app now.
This is one of the best apps ever, it has helped the FD 3000%
It would be really helpful to be able to listen to the Fire and police talking on the radio
Vary helpful and useful in a emergency
Helps me a lot with understanding what’s going on with my county.
Good to know what happened in my neighborhood.
Just location and type of emergency given. Would like more details.
I constantly hear ambulances near where I live so I like to see what’s going on in my neighborhood.
