The City of Wolfsburg's Health and Fire and Civil Protection departments would like to draw attention to the Open AED Map platform, which records the locations of publicly accessible automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in the city and makes them accessible to everyone. The aim is to increase the visibility of these potentially life-saving devices.

Locations can be entered directly by AED-providing institutions, associations etc. on the website www.openaedmap.org. In addition to the exact location, information on the accessibility and availability of the devices is also stored.

The Open AED Map is a freely accessible online directory that collects and maps the locations of AEDs worldwide. Using the platform enables public authorities and first responders to obtain information about the nearest defibrillators quickly and easily.

By using this function, you agree that the data may also be transferred to third countries, outside the European Economic Area, without an adequate level of data protection (especially USA). It is possible that authorities may access the data without any legal remedy. You can revoke your consent at any time. Further information: Privacy policy
