Burgernet vs AED Alert

Be on the lookout for suspicious or missing persons, receive AMBER Alerts, and help make your neighborhood safer. Using the Burgernet app is free and anonymous. Nearly 4 out of 10 Burgernet cases are solved thanks to tips from participants. The more people take part, the greater the chance that something or someone will be found. How Burgernet works Burgernet is used in cases such as theft or burglary, hit-and-run accidents, robbery, and missing persons. Through the Burgernet app, you receive an alert whenever something like this happens in your area. Have you seen something? Then you can contact the police directly through the app. AMBER Alert Through the Burgernet app, you also receive AMBER Alerts when a missing child is in life-threatening danger. You can recognize an AMBER Alert by the orange color and the title AMBER Alert. About the app The app uses your smartphone’s location to send you notifications about incidents in your area — even when you’re away from home. Participation is anonymous; your personal data or location are not tracked.

With the AED Alert app you can participate in organised neighbourly assistance, which can reduce the mortality rate from sudden cardiac arrests. Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone. Only a very rapid resuscitation, within six minutes, can help. We are dedicated to organised neighbourly assistance, anywhere and at all times. As a volunteer you can save people’s lives by participating in this network. In case of an alert, the system knows where volunteers are. This way only volunteers that are in the vicinity of the patient are alerted. In case the app is not activated, the system alerts the volunteer via SMS based on the registered private or work address. Operation of the app In case of a sudden cardiac arrest available volunteers in proximity of the incident receive an alert. The number of volunteers that receive an alert depends on their availability. Alerted volunteers are requested to reply to the alert. This way we track the number of volunteers that will go to the call. When a sufficient amount of volunteers have accepted the alert, the others receive a cancellation message. This way there are never too many volunteers on scene. The deployed volunteers receive the location of the incident or the AED, including a route description. Volunteers that retrieve the AED receive a PIN code, or use a key to open the AED cabinet. New types of cabinets can be remotely opened from the dispatch centre.
