AEDS are only as good as the response time of a "captain". There are usually more than 1 in a neighborhood, I'd course. There is an AED in our neighborhood, but since those people who organized and collected the money for it have moved away several years ago, who knows who is in charge or if there are any volunteer "captains" around anymore or if the defibrillator is attached to that house anymore. We have had a lot of turnover in our neighborhood through the years, so I'm pretty sure everything fell by the wayside. Big waste of money in our situation.
