RescueMesh AI

From chaos to coordinated rescue — an AI-powered disaster response platform that helps emergency teams prioritize SOS reports, assign responders, and coordinate resources faster.

The Problem

During floods, earthquakes, wildfires, hurricanes, and other emergencies, response teams receive many scattered SOS messages. Important details are buried in calls, texts, forms, and social posts. Without fast triage, the most critical cases can be delayed.

Our Solution

RescueMesh AI collects emergency reports, analyzes urgency, recommends resources, identifies duplicate reports, maps affected zones, and generates an operational rescue plan for coordinators.

Core Features

AI Triage

Classifies SOS reports by urgency using emergency keywords, affected population, and incident type.

Crisis Map

Visualizes active emergencies with priority-colored markers and responder information.

Command Center

Turns scattered emergency reports into a prioritized operational action plan.

Resource Matching

Suggests rescue boats, medical responders, ambulances, fire units, shelters, and relief supplies.

Offline SOS Mode

Stores reports locally when connectivity is unavailable, supporting disaster conditions.

Duplicate Detection

Flags similar reports so responders avoid dispatching duplicate teams to the same incident.
