ResQGrid

Keeping relief connected when networks fail.

Floods and other emergencies take the network down exactly when people need to ask for help. ResQGrid lets residents, camp workers and coordinators send and track requests anyway. Offline requests wait on the device and sync the moment connectivity returns.

the idea.

One grid, three roles, zero dependence on signal.

  • 1

    Residents

    request help, even with no signal

  • 2

    Camp workers

    manage and consolidate what a camp needs

  • 3

    Coordinators

    track, dispatch and update every request

how it works.

  1. 1

    Request

    A resident fills in location, disaster type, urgency, vulnerabilities and an optional photo.

  2. 2

    Queue on device

    If the network is down, the request is stored locally in the browser. Nothing is lost.

  3. 3

    Sync

    When connectivity returns, queued requests are sent automatically, with a manual sync as backup.

  4. 4

    Dispatch

    Coordinators move each request Pending → Accepted → Dispatched → Delivered.

Not another app: learning AWS, understanding cloud deployment, and turning an idea into something that actually runs.
