Pietraroja has joined the "Progetto DAE," an initiative promoted by the Italian Red Cross Committee of San Lorenzello to record and map defibrillators across the local area through a digital platform.
According to NTR24, the municipal council approved the agreement unanimously among the members present. The Red Cross proposal had been received into the municipal records on 31 August 2026.
A publicly accessible digital map
The project centers on a publicly accessible digital map at dae.crisanlorenzello.it.
The CRI San Lorenzello platform presents a "Mappa DAE" and allows users to search for the nearest AED and to report defibrillators that have not yet been recorded. The project site notes that knowing the location of an AED in advance can be decisive in an emergency.
No list of devices already recorded specifically in Pietraroja was available in the sources consulted, and it could not be verified whether the map already includes Pietraroja's devices.
What information will be collected
Under the agreement reported by NTR24, the census covers the location, model, working condition, and expiry dates for batteries and pads for each defibrillator.
That information is to be updated at least every six months, or when a device undergoes maintenance, replacement, relocation, or temporary unavailability.
The number of defibrillators involved, their addresses, hours of accessibility, and the timing of publication of the data were not reported in the sources acquired.
Terms of the agreement
According to NTR24, the agreement involves no financial costs for the parties. It has an initial duration of six years, with automatic renewal for a further period of the same length unless notice of termination is given.
The full text of the council resolution and the agreement was not available in the sources acquired.
How readers can use the map
For residents and visitors, the practical value of the initiative is straightforward: the platform makes it possible to look up the nearest recorded AED rather than relying on word of mouth, and to flag a device that is missing from the census.
Similar institutional AED maps, such as the one described by the regional emergency agency AREU, allow searches by user location or by individual device and show the officially reported status. That context helps explain what Pietraroja's participation aims to provide locally: a maintained, searchable record rather than a one-time list.
Anyone aware of a defibrillator that does not yet appear on the CRI San Lorenzello map can use the platform's reporting function to signal it for inclusion.
