Moritz v. Grotthuss, CEO of Bareways, discusses how digital infrastructure often fails during crises. He introduces the Bareways Crisis Coordination Platform, designed to maintain communication, tactical navigation and situational awareness even when connectivity is disrupted.

When emergencies escalate, digital infrastructure is often the first dependency to fail. Floods, wildfires, earthquakes, industrial incidents, cyber-attacks, and deliberate interference can degrade power, cellular coverage, internet connectivity,, and cloud access precisely when teams need them most. The operational workaround is familiar: responders revert to consumer messaging, screenshots of maps, improvised phone trees, and spreadsheets passed around by email. Those tools are convenient, but they fragment information, they are hard to govern, and they frequently violate professional security and compliance requirements. Worse, they fail by isolating people into disconnected pockets of situational awareness.
