Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Registration
  • Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Locator:  This user-friendly platform allows the public to locate AEDs in their vicinity.  It also ensures those who have registered an AED location previously that their data is accurate in the registry.  

    • If an AED needs to be registered, please use the Registry tool below to submit data to the Vermont Department of Health.
    • If an AED has been previously registered but the information needs to be updated, please email vtems@vermont.gov and our staff will work with you to make the necessary adjustments. 

       

    Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Registration Tool: Use this tool to notify the Vermont Department of Health that a public access defibrillator has been placed at your location. 

    • Generate one entry per physical 9-1-1 address - the system will allow you to enter up to 10  placement locations for that specific address.  
      • Example:  XYZ Enterprises, 7 Cyclone Street, Anytown, VT: Location 1: Gymnasium, Location 2: Lunch room; Location 3: Manager's office wall, etc.
      • For entities with AEDs located at more than one physical 9-1-1 address, create entries sufficient to cover all locations.

     

  • PAD Legislation: This is the text of legislation that created the Public Access Defibrillation program and provides instructions for registering defibrillators with the Vermont Department of Health.
