Earlier CPR, earlier defib.
Training reduces delay. Public AED access reduces distance. A ready volunteer team reduces uncertainty. Together, they improve the odds of a better outcome.
Community trust
Practical, local, calm.
We focus on skills people can remember under stress: call for help, start compressions, use the AED, and support handover to medical services.
