October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, and the nonprofit PulsePoint Foundation wants to reward communities for locating and registering AED (Automated External Defibrillators). 

The PulsePoint Foundation received a donation from ZOLL, an Asahi Kasei company that manufactures medical devices and related software solutions. 

Each AED registered from October 1 through 31 will gain individuals an entry to win one of ten $500 Amazon gift cards. Additionally, if Crawford County is the community that registers the most AEDs in October, they will be awarded five ZOLL AED 3 defibrillator devices. 

AEDs must be registered through the free PulsePoint AED app or online at AED.new. 

After the AEDs are verified by the Crawford County Department of Public Safety, the AEDs will be added to the Emergency AED Registry. 

The list will be shared with responders and 911 call takers during a cardiac emergency. The globally accessible registry currently includes more than 170,000 AEDs.
