Offline Emergency Alerts

During disasters and crises, emergency alerts must reach everyone — even when cellular and internet networks are down or overloaded.

The Challenge

Traditional emergency alert systems depend on cellular networks and internet connectivity. During major disasters, these networks often fail precisely when alerts are most needed.

Broadcast-Based Alerts

FreeWave encodes emergency alerts into QR video broadcasts that can be distributed via TV, radio companion screens, or shared locally — reaching users without any internet connection.

Signed and Verified

Emergency misinformation can be deadly. FreeWave's signing model ensures alerts come from authorized publishers, reducing the risk of false or malicious emergency messages.
