ResQMesh Preparing emergency network portal
About ResQMesh

A local emergency network for connected response.

ResQMesh helps Valencia City prepare verified civilians, rescuers, mesh devices, and administrators for both everyday connected access and emergency communication disruptions.

The challenge

Why ResQMesh Exists

Emergencies can happen when mobile data, internet service, or regular communication channels are weak or unavailable. ResQMesh was created to give Valencia City a practical way to keep distress information, location details, and responder communication moving through both connected services and nearby mesh nodes.

Communication should not stop when connectivity does.
