This map displays where Nova Scotians can find AEDs (automatic external defibrillators). This map lists both public AEDs and AEDs for medical first responders (MFR). A more recent map may be viewable on the NSGI site.

The map is intended for public awareness, to help plan and prepare for a potential cardiac arrest and to increase the availability of AEDs in our communities. It is not intended to be relied upon for emergency response or ongoing administration of AED programs. Use the dataset entirely at your own risk.

The information in the map is provided voluntarily by AED owners. EHS and GeoNova have tried to ensure that the information on the map is accurate, but we don’t guarantee that any AED listed is:
• still located at the location shown
• available for emergency response
• working

AEDs shown on the map may not be available for public use outside of the locations shown. To access or use an AED, you might need approval from the owner or their designate.
