Crisis Connect

Crisis Connect is an offline-first emergency communication app that keeps you connected when networks fail. Using Bluetooth mesh technology, nearby phones exchange messages directly with each other — no internet, no Wi-Fi, no mobile signal and no SIM card required.

When an earthquake, flood, hurricane, wildfire or large-scale power outage takes the network down, most messaging apps stop working. Crisis Connect is built for exactly that moment.

WHY CRISIS CONNECT?

Ordinary messengers depend on servers, mobile data and cell towers. In a disaster, those are often the first things to fail. Crisis Connect creates direct device-to-device connections, so your family, friends, neighbors and rescue teams can keep communicating during a blackout, network outage or infrastructure collapse.

OFFLINE MESSAGING — NO INTERNET REQUIRED

• Send and receive messages over Bluetooth, completely offline
• Works without mobile data, Wi-Fi or cellular coverage
• Mesh relay: messages hop from phone to phone to reach people beyond direct Bluetooth range
• Automatic discovery of nearby Crisis Connect users
• Fast, low-latency chat that feels like a normal messenger

EMERGENCY SOS & ALERTS

• Broadcast an emergency alert to everyone around you
• Send an SOS signal with your location when you need help
• Share your location with the people who matter
• See who is nearby in your building, neighborhood or assembly area

PRIVACY & SECURITY BY DESIGN

• End-to-end encryption protects your conversations
• No account, phone number or email required for offline use
• No central servers — messages travel directly between devices
• Nothing is uploaded or stored in the cloud

NO SIGNUP. NO SIM. NO BARRIERS.

Crisis Connect works out of the box. Open the app and it immediately starts discovering people around you. In an emergency there is no time for registration forms — and because the offline mode does not depend on phone numbers, it keeps working even when SIM and carrier infrastructure is down.

CRISIS SENTINEL — ON-DEVICE AI ASSISTANT

Crisis Connect includes Crisis Sentinel, an AI assistant that runs entirely on your phone. Ask questions about disaster preparedness, emergency planning and safety, and get guidance even with zero connectivity.

BUILT FOR REAL EMERGENCIES

• Earthquake, flood, storm and wildfire scenarios
• Power outages and network blackouts
• Search and rescue coordination in the field
• Neighborhood and community resilience networks
• Emergency preparedness plans for families

USEFUL FAR BEYOND DISASTERS

Offline chat is handy anywhere connectivity is poor or overloaded:

• Hiking, camping and off-grid adventures
• Festivals, stadiums and crowded events where networks are congested
• Rural areas, basements, subways and buildings with weak signal
• Travel without a data plan

HOW IT WORKS

Crisis Connect combines Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Bluetooth Classic to form a local mesh network between phones. Every device can also act as a relay, passing messages along so communication chains across many users — like a text-based walkie-talkie network powered by the phones around you. Typical device-to-device range reaches up to 130 meters in open areas, and the mesh extends it even further.

19 LANGUAGES

Crisis Connect speaks your language. The app is fully localized in 19 languages, with emergency notifications adapted to each one.

BE PREPARED BEFORE IT MATTERS

The best time to install an emergency app is before you need it. Download Crisis Connect, tell your family and neighbors, and make offline communication part of your disaster preparedness plan.

Communication is a lifeline. Keep yours open — even when everything else goes down.
