CatapultEMS overview

What is CatapultEMS?

CatapultEMS is an emergency management system that allows schools to take control of their safety in minutes.

The CatapultEMS platform gives you a complete view of your campus, including real-time alerts, customizable notifications, and consolidated reporting. You can track key metrics like response times and staff availability with ease, so you know how well your school is prepared for an emergency.

You can also use CatapultEMS to easily create crisis plans for any type of situation: fires, weather events, active shooters—you name it! And with our new Crisis Plan Builder tool, you'll be able to create these plans without lifting a finger.

What do users say about CatapultEMS?

Very frustrating trying to get the apps to work to talk to other staff members without having to put in passwords every time - how does one remember those in a panicky situation!

We can post messages to the school website from Catapult Connect. It is a nice feature, but it isn't necessary by any means.
