Emergency communication across any language, over any mesh

When disaster strikes and cell towers go dark, volunteers and first responders rely on mesh radios to coordinate. But mesh radios carry very little data — often less than 200 bytes — and when teams speak different languages, critical meaning gets lost.

MECP (Mesh Emergency Communication Protocol) solves this by encoding emergency situations into compact, structured messages. Each message starts with a severity level, followed by standardised codes from 12 categories — medical, terrain, weather, supplies, coordination, and more.

Because every code maps to a translation in 20 languages, a Czech volunteer's MAYDAY is instantly readable by a Japanese search team. No interpreter needed, no bandwidth wasted.
