The neighborhood AED volunteers are trained in AED and CPR. When a 911 call goes out, and is determined to be an AED-related emergency, all neighborhood first responders are automatically notified. All who are nearby and able get to the scene as quickly as they can, with the ones close to the AEDs grabbing them and bringing them along. The neighborhood AED program has saved many people.
