Spanberger Signs Executive Order to Boost Virginia’s Emergency Preparedness
The order creates a Unified Readiness Coordinator system and expands planning for cyber incidents, public health emergencies and critical infrastructure threats.
- On Tuesday, Governor Abigail Spanberger signed Executive Order 19, establishing the Commonwealth Unified Readiness Framework to integrate emergency planning, communications, and response efforts across Virginia.
- The order follows seven regional readiness summits held this spring involving more than 750 participants from law enforcement, emergency services, and local governments.
- Spanberger wrote the order addresses "public health emergencies, cyber incidents, threats to critical infrastructure, supply chain disruptions, acts of violence, emerging technologies, and other complex hazards" by breaking down operational silos.
- Executive branch agencies must designate a Unified Readiness Coordinator and update emergency-related plans by Dec. 31, with the secretary of public safety and homeland security overseeing implementation.
- The framework seeks to ensure Virginia is "fully equipped to anticipate, respond to, and recover from any threat" by incorporating existing plans while bolstering digital security and healthcare readiness.
