Overview

Emergency Management is COBRA's incident branch: real-time incident and event management, resource tracking, and coordinated response tools built for EOCs of any size. Response and Med Ops modules run on one shared operating picture, so field teams, section leads, and decision-makers are all working from the same current information.

COBRA is built on the National Incident Management System and the Incident Command System, so the structures your staff already train on are the structures in the software.

It runs at national scale. Belgium uses COBRA as its national incident and crisis management system, and it has coordinated response for the Rio 2016 Olympics and the aftermath of the Brussels attack. Read the case studies

Response

Track incidents from initial report through resolution. Response gives EOC and field staff a shared log of events, tasks, and status updates, with resource requests and situational reports surfacing live so command staff can act on current conditions instead of stale reports.

Med Ops

Coordinate medical resources and patient tracking alongside the broader response. Med Ops keeps EMS assignments, medical resource status, and patient movement visible to the EOC without requiring a separate system or manual reconciliation.

You have a plan. You have walked it through with your city police and your county EMS. You have sat around a table and worked the scenario nobody wants to name out loud. Your people have prepared for this.

And then it is an ordinary Tuesday. Thousands of people, across dozens of buildings. And in the first minutes, the plan you exercised meets the thing itself. Where is it. Who is responding. Which buildings are clear.

COBRA is where that plan runs. Campus police, city police, and EMS in one event, on one map. Which buildings are secured. Where responders are. What is known, and when. Every decision and every notification goes into one immutable log, stamped with who made it, when, and the position they held.

Your emergency plans and your building layouts are right there, not in a binder in an office nobody can reach. Command sees the same picture from the field or from the operations center.

And as the scene stabilizes, the same event carries into reunification. One shared picture for the work of getting every student back to their family.

One campus. Or every campus in a system, held to one standard, on one record. We are not a software vendor. We are practitioners, and we partner on the mission.

Core capabilities

Incident Management

Log, assign, and track incidents from open to close, with a full attributable record of who did what and when.

Resource Tracking

See personnel, equipment, and assets across the operation in one place, and know what's available before you request more.

Situational Awareness

A live, map-based common operating picture keeps every level of command working from the same current conditions.

Multi-Agency Coordination

Bring partner agencies into the same incident with role-based access, so coordination doesn't depend on phone calls and email.
