I also developed the onboarding process, ensuring seamless user sign-ups and introductions to the app's key features and mainly focuses on recovery-oriented disaster management
Why Design
Designing the Crisis app with the core goal of addressing the need for clear, accessible, and actionable disaster management support. The app focuses on preparedness, real-time response, and recovery by simplifying access to critical information and resources. Every design choice was driven by user needs creating intuitive navigation, real-time alerts, and easy access to emergency contacts—to ensure users can prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters effectively.

Making a community within the app
Onboarding process that shows how the app works during a disaster
Comparing to normal Bluetooth technology Bluetooth mesh can achieve a greater distance by utilizing phones as nodes/intermediates to transmit signals. While other peoples phones are used to send a message, only the sender and the receiver will be able to see the content of the messages. The other phones just act as signal amplifiers.
