Mobile rescuers in Waldeck-Frankenberg

In a medical emergency, every second counts. By the time the emergency services arrive, valuable time can have elapsed in which those affected could have already received initial treatment. This is where the "Mobile Rescuers" project comes in: qualified first aiders who are in the vicinity of the emergency are alerted by the control centre - and can initiate life-saving measures until the rescue service arrives. They are also deployed in the Waldeck-Frankenberg district.

This makes the mobile rescuers a good addition to the rescue chain in the district. The alert works via smartphone: if an emergency call is received by the Waldeck-Frankenberg control centre with the message "cardiac arrest" or "unconsciousness", the volunteer and qualified rescuers registered in an app who are in the vicinity are alerted - automatically and in parallel with the rescue service. This means that life-saving measures can be initiated before the emergency services arrive.
