All jurisdictions have targeted efforts related to Operational Coordination. The foremost gaps are: 1) PLANNING: Plans lack horizontal and vertical integration and need adjusting to be scalable for use during a catastrophic incident. Recovery needs to be incorporated. 2) ORGANIZATION: Response and recovery to catastrophic incidents will require additional trained personnel to support either large-scale or long-term activations. 3) EQUIPMENT: There is a lack of integration and interoperability of tools to form a Common Operating Picture for all stakeholders. Additionally, equipment continues to age, with subsequent degradation occurring with routine usage, and there is a lack of funding to sustain and/or replace. Resiliency is still an evolving concept without a formalized statewide, whole community approach to focus efforts. While the State is introducing initiatives to combat that reality, localjurisdictions still struggte with gaps related to Community Resilience: 1) TRAINING: lndividuals and businesses need to move from awareness to action. 2) EXERCISE: Communities are dependent on volunteers to exercise this capability and do not have the tools or expertise to engage stakeholders. Related to Resilience, jurisdictions recognize the need to communicate with all stakeholders and continue to expand the reach of their messaging. lnitiatives are ongoing to address the identified Public lnformation and Warning gap related to: 1) PLANNING: Plans do not fully address communicating with non-English speaking populations, immigrant groups, and individuals with disabilities.
