Abstract

This paper describes an innovative mobile phone application, named Rokkha that allows users to send location to predefined contacts by SMS to improve personal safety without internet connectivity. It discusses the development of the application, highlighting its offline functionality, intuitive interface, and the potential implications for emergency response systems. The literature review reveals the fact that in many of the existing emergency applications, connectivity with data is essential. Rokkha addresses this gap by providing a reliable alternative for location sharing during emergencies, particularly in areas with limited or no internet access. This paper aims to cover the designing considerations, implementation challenges and greater impact of using Rokkha in terms of reduced essential response time and assistance in crisis
