Today’s school leaders face rising expectations around campus safety. Clear communication, rapid decision-making, and coordinated response aren’t optional during a crisis. Coram's Emergency Management System (EMS) is built for exactly that.

Whether you're leading a single school or an entire district, Coram gives your team the tools to respond decisively, reduce chaos, and protect your community. It scales easily, adapts to your existing protocols, and supports the people who are responsible for making hard calls under pressure.

Instant Emergency Alerts, Anytime, Anywhere

With Coram EMS, every teacher and staff member can immediately trigger a secure emergency alert from their mobile device. If someone sees a weapon, intruder, fire, or any threat, they can act instantly ,  unnecessary steps.

Once an alert is triggered:

  • Everyone on the system is notified immediately, even if their phone is on “Do Not Disturb.”
  • Emergency protocols such as lockdowns can be activated within a few clicks.
  • Live camera footage is shared instantly with responders.
  • Administrators can verify and act within seconds.

AI Detection and Camera Integration

Coram EMS is fully integrated with Coram’s Video Management System (VMS). Cameras powered by Coram AI can automatically detect visible threats like firearms, smoke, or unauthorized intrusions. When detected, these systems trigger an alert without requiring human intervention. This real-time intelligence helps schools act faster and with greater confidence in high-pressure situations.

Access Control That Responds with EMS

Coram EMS integrates with Coram’s access control, allowing schools to lock buildings, restrict access to specific areas, or secure doors directly from the platform during an emergency. This eliminates the need for separate systems and enables a more coordinated response.

Centralized Management Across Campuses

For districts with multiple campuses, Coram EMS offers centralized management from a single dashboard. Administrators can control alert permissions, manage user access, assign roles, and monitor activity across all locations. The platform allows schools to tailor responses by campus and ensure only relevant personnel are involved based on their availability or location.

Designed Specifically for Schools

Coram EMS is built to meet the specific needs of educational institutions. It’s available on mobile, tablet, and desktop, ensuring accessibility for staff at all times. It works with your existing security infrastructure, avoiding the cost and complexity of replacing hardware. And because EMS, VMS, and access control are part of the same ecosystem, schools avoid the challenges of managing multiple vendors or platforms.

Why Coram EMS?

Coram EMS brings together detection, alerting, communication, and control into a single, easy-to-manage platform. It’s flexible, efficient, and built for the realities of K-12 operations. Whether you're protecting one campus or coordinating across a district, Coram EMS helps you secure your premises without adding staff.
