X-post: Fire Resilience — Emergency Response & Disaster Recovery Hackathon

Register Here - https://lu.ma/djblzsj5

Step into the new era of Distributed Continuum Intelligence, powered by mimik ai and personalized by [Kwaai.ai](http://kwaai.ai/) open-source Personal AI—where AI-driven systems mimic human behavior and interactions in the physical world to respond intelligently in real time.
​The future of emergency response demands fast, adaptive, and context-aware technology that can predict, prevent, and respond—without constant reliance on networks or the Central Cloud. The recent Los Angeles fire is a stark reminder that speed and resilience are critical.
​With mimik ai, you can build autonomous, offline-first intelligent systems that think, act, and collaborate like humans—expanding and adapting dynamically in real-world scenarios. Whether it’s firefighting, medical aid, or disaster coordination, your solution will be self-reliant, collaborative, and capable of operating in even the most challenging environments.
​Are you ready to build AI-driven solutions that work on the ground, at the moment of crisis, and beyond? Join us, push the boundaries, and compete for top prizes!

## ​Hack Virtually from February 21st - March 7th:

​Showcase your edge-enabled Personal AI solutions to wildfire-impacted investors at SCaLE22x, Pasadena. Demonstrate how your application leverages both mimik's distributed computing and Kwaai's Personal AI architecture for offline-first, secure emergency response. Virtual presentations supported.

## ​What hackers get:

​• Full access to mimik’s mim OE™ (previously named edgeEngine) and microservices platform– free for all teams
​• The chance to win $15k in cash prizes | $15k in kind prizes
​• Direct mentoring from our disaster-tech experts
​• Fast-track to deployment in fire-prone regions

## ​The Edge Advantage:

​Your solutions keep running even when the grid goes down. Data processing continues at the endpoint devices (edge). Communities stay connected. That's the power of mimik.

## ​Prize Pool:

​- $15,000 in cash prizes
​- $15,000 in-kind donations including tech resources and deployment support

## ​Digital Phase (Feb 21 - Mar 5):

​Kickoff event: February 21st, 6pm-8pm on Zoom
​Teams of 3-5 members work with LA fire chiefs, emergency responders, and affected residents. Daily support includes:
​- Technical workshops and emergency response briefings
​- Direct mentorship from AI experts and first responders
​- Access to incident data and response logs
​- Structured sprints via Slack and Zoom

## ​In-Person Summit (Mar 6-7, Los Angeles):

​- Mar 6: Live demos at Personal AI Symposium
​- Mar 7: Exclusive investor reception
​- Mar 7 -6-9PM PT: Final judging and fast-track deployment planning

## ​Schedule Breakdown:

​Week 1:
​- Day 1: Emergency response briefing and team formation
​- Days 2-3: Technical workshops and project planning
​- Days 4-5: Mentorship and development setup
​- Days 6-7: Initial development and community feedback
