Public defibrillators
Locate publicly accessible defibrillators (AEDs) so bystanders can find one quickly in an emergency.
Last updated: 17 July 2026
What you would map
Public defibrillators communities pin real-world places on a shared map so people can find, photograph, and catalogue them together.
Geography is up to you: a single city, a whole country, or a worldwide atlas.
- 24/7 cabinet
- Venue hours only
- Guarded / staffed access
- Mobile / event AED
What to record on each pin
Each entry should help the next person find the place again and understand why it belongs here.
- Accurate coordinates (stand at the spot when pinning, where safe and lawful)
- Clear photos that show the subject and its setting
- A short, searchable title
- Whether the cabinet is reachable 24/7 from the street
- If an access code or staff help is required
- Clear landmark notes (entrance, wall, foyer)
- Do not list private AEDs that the public cannot reach
Why a shared atlas helps
Seconds matter in cardiac arrest. A shared, local map complements national registers and helps communities spot coverage gaps.
Spreadsheets and private photo albums do not compound. A public community map grows with every contribution and becomes findable on SpotterAtlas and search engines.
