SCDF myResponder App - Be a Community First Responder Today!
1. A-CERTS would like to share about the SCDF myResponder App from the Volunteer and Community Partnership Department, Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). You are encouraged to download SCDF myResponder App.
2. In Singapore, many of the emergency cases SCDF responds to could be quickly attended to by members of the public even before SCDF’s arrival. As you may be aware, more than 2,500 people suffer from Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA), with a survival rate of just 5%, which could be improved by simple medical intervention within the first few critical minutes. At the same time, there are more than 1,000 minor fires (such as rubbish chute/bin fire) that could easily be extinguished using publicly-available means.
3. myResponder is an application by SCDF to alert members of the public to nearby fire and medical cases, and thereby save lives and increase the survival rate for OHCA, as well as mitigate minor fires in the first few critical minutes. myResponder works by notifying members of the public – also known as Community First Responders (CFRs) – of cardiac arrest and fire cases within 400m of their location. myResponder will also highlight nearby AEDs that may be available to responders, and provide guided advisories in the mitigation of minor fires. Through the ‘Call 995’ button in the app, users can also send their geolocation to SCDF’s 995 Operations Centre, enabling SCDF to dispatch the emergency resources to the scene sooner.
4. As all members of the CERT community are trained and equipped to plan, prevent and respond to fire and medical incidents at their workplaces, we hope that you can assist us in capturing this opportunity to leverage on all trained CERT members to help expand the myResponder network and provide a wider coverage of CFRs in and around their workplaces. More lives could be saved from fire and medical incidents when there are always ready CFRs nearby.

NFEC Appreciation Lunch (6 May 2022)
Notice: Resumption of Physical Fire Drills
In tandem with the easing of community SMMs, SCDF will allow the resumption of physical fire drills for premises with effect from 1 April 2022 onwards. FSMs and building owners will be allowed to carry out physical fire drills, in compliance with the prevailing SMM. As employees are gradually returning to workplaces, it is important for physical fire drills to resume, to ensure that the building occupants continue to be familiar with the evacuation procedures during an emergency.
SCDF will announce the resumption of physical fire drills to the industry via the following channels:
a) Email blast to FSMs and building owners
b) Update on SCDF website
