In a personal emergency, the transition from safety to crisis is instantaneous, often triggering a "motor-function freeze" that renders manual SOS triggers useless. This vulnerability is worsened by the "connectivity gap"—the failure of cloud-reliant apps in tunnels, basements, and dead-zones. This paper introduces Crisis Connect, a decentralized, network-agnostic framework that moves speech recognition to the device edge using the Vosk engine. By supporting English, Hindi, and Telugu without requiring data packets, and utilizing a Multi-Stage Vocal Verification Algorithm (MVVA) to filter environmental noise, the system ensures near-zero latency. Crisis Connect elevates the smartphone to an autonomous guardian, proving that the most reliable technology is the one that stays functional even when the world goes offline.
