Application Description: ResQ mesh is a disaster resilience application designed to maintain critical communication when cellular networks fail during emergencies like floods or earthquakes. By utilizing Bluetooth Mesh technology, the app creates a decentralized, off-grid network that allows nearby devices to connect directly without internet access, enabling users to broadcast immediate SOS signals, mark safe zones, and locate vital resources like water on a shared offline map. This ensures that communities remain connected and informed during the most dangerous hours of a disaster, bridging the gap between grid failure and the arrival of professional rescue teams.
