A proposed council could improve disaster response by coordinating communications between agencies. This council would set standards for cooperation among responders and ensure reliable communication during emergencies. It would also support regional systems.

The idea for this council comes after severe floods and wildfires affected the state. Lawmakers will be discussing the proposal, which aims to create a unified emergency response system. Further details about the proposed council and its potential impact are available from the source, including information about the committee leading the discussion, led by a state representative from Canadian.
