1.2.1.The Colorado Department of Public Safety, Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, is acquiring an updated secure alert notification system for use by the State of Colorado agencies for notifications to employees, elected officials, and affiliated persons. Procurement of an updated standardized internal alert notification system will eliminate the outdated features of the current alert notification system acquired in Fiscal Year 2023. Continued adoption of a statewide alert notification system ensures at the very minimum capabilities are adopted across all government agencies, promotes consistent training, implementation, and deployment of the system during both steady-state and crisis-state operations. The system will need to continue to leverage whatever means are available for communication such as cellphone (private and/or state issued), email, as vehicles of notification to state employees, elected officials, and affiliated persons. In tandem, there shall be developed and provided protocols, training and use of the system selected.
