Manage Safety Teams

In CatapultEMS, the two "administrator" access levels are District Safety Team and Site Safety Team. Learn how to manage and upgrade user access for these Teams.

What are Safety Teams?

In CatapultEMS, the two administrator access levels are District Safety Team and Site Safety Team. The District Safety Team is responsible for managing incidents, settings, and safety district-wide and has access to all sites. The Site Safety Team is responsible for managing incidents, settings, and safety for their assigned site. For more information about EMS access levels, see: Access level comparison.

Who should be on the District Safety Team?

The District Safety Team typically includes the following:

• Superintendent
• Assistant to Superintendent
• Director of IT
• Director of Maintenance
• Public Information Officer 
• Director of Transportation
• Etc.

Who should be on the Site Safety Team?

The Site Safety Team typically includes the following:

• Principals
• Vice Principals
• School Resource Officer
• Office Managers
• Counselors
• Etc.

Each of these roles has obvious responsibility in the event of an emergency, but aside from that, it's also important to have a number of individuals available during any emergency. For an elementary site, this should be at least 4-6 members. For middle schools, we recommend 7-10; high schools, 10-15.
