        abstract = {Emergency response systems in India face significant challenges due to fragmented coordination, infrastructural disparities, and linguistic diversity, particularly impacting rural and marginalized urban communities. Rescue Connect addresses these issues through a software-driven, community-centric platform that enhances geolocation accuracy with satellite data, ensures connectivity via hybrid networking protocols, and supports multilingual interfaces. It employs software algorithms for dynamic responder routing based on real-time traffic predictions. Field trials demonstrated improved response times in both urban and rural settings, with community training programs boosting local capacity. Future work will leverage India's NavIC satellites for sub-meter precision and expand language support to Tamil and Bengali, focusing on migrant communities.},
