Locating your nearest defibrillator - Click Here
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED)can increase someone's chance of survival by up to 80% if applied immediately. Over 12,000 locations are now mapped on this website and the Android and iPhone apps.
It's a community effort
AED Locations aim to keep the information as up-to-date and accurate as possible. However they can't guarantee that all AEDs will be accessible, in full working order, or still in the same location. AED Locations relies on the community, so if you notice out-of-date information, please contact us or add a new location.
