Abstract: Systems and methods for device connectivity in emergency situations can include a plurality of user devices communicatively connected wherein at least a portion of the plurality of user devices are directly and dynamically connected in a non-hierarchic fashion to at least a portion of other devices of the plurality of user devices. The plurality of user devices may cooperate with one another to efficiently route emergency requests, non-emergency information, or the like, from a requesting device to one or more user devices until a network is reached, whereby a server can receive and process the emergency request. The server, upon receiving the emergency request, is operable to send a request (with data) to security user devices associated with security staff and enable a communication path between the requesting device and the security devices. The communication path may comprise a voice, text, notification, and/or video communication.
