“Our Unified Readiness framework strengthens intelligence sharing, reinforces interagency collaboration, and ensures that every jurisdiction, urban, suburban, and rural operate with a shared understanding of our security posture,” she added.
Despite global tensions peaking, particularly driven by conflicts in the Middle East, specifically involving Iran and the ongoing war in Ukraine, the governor made clear that this briefing was "not about alarm, it is about alignment."
