To the extent funds are made available, the Commonwealth Office of
Technology shall establish a statewide planning and mapping system for public
buildings in this state for use by response agencies who are called to respond
to an act of terrorism or an emergency.
The statewide planning and mapping system for public buildings shall include:
(a) Floor plans, fire protection information, building evacuation plans, utility
information, known hazards, and information on how to contact
emergency personnel;
(b) The manner by which the information required by paragraph (a) of this
subsection shall be transferred to the system from state agencies and the
local political subdivisions who participate in the system;
(c) Standards for the software that shall be used by state agencies and local
political subdivisions that participate in the system;
(d) Conditions for use of the system by response agencies;
(e) Guidelines for:
1.
The accessibility and confidentiality of information contained within
the system; and
2.
The incorporation, in connection with the use of the system, of the
items described in subsection (3)(b) of this section;
(f) In accordance with information obtained by the Kentucky Office of
Homeland Security, a priority for the distribution of any money that may
be available for state agencies and political subdivisions to participate in
the system; and
(g) Guidelines recommended by the Division of Emergency Management for
the training of persons employed by the response agencies concerning
the use of the system.
To the extent money is available, state agencies and political subdivisions
shall:
(a) Participate in the statewide planning and mapping system; and
(b) Incorporate into their use of the system, without limitation:
1.
Evacuation routes and strategies for evacuation;
2.
Alarms and other signals or means of notification;
3.
Plans for remaining inside a building, room, structure, or other
location during an emergency when egress may be impossible or
when egress may present a more substantial risk than remaining
inside; and
4.
Training and strategies for prevention in connection with attacks
involving violence.
If a state agency or political subdivision uses its own planning and mapping
system before the Commonwealth Office of Technology establishes a
statewide planning and mapping system, the state agency or political
subdivision may continue to use its system unless money is made available for
the state agency or political subdivision to update or modify its system as

necessary for inclusion in the statewide system.
The Commonwealth Office of Technology:
(a) Shall pursue any money that may be available from the federal
government for the development and operation of a statewide planning
and mapping system for public buildings, and for the distribution of grants
to state agencies and political subdivisions that participate in the system;
and
(b) May accept gifts, grants, and contributions for the development and
operation of a statewide planning and mapping system, and for the
distribution of grants to the state agencies and political subdivisions that
participate in the system.
Each state agency and political subdivision that participates in the system
shall, on or before July 1, 2007, and on or before July 1 of each year thereafter,
submit to the Commonwealth Office of Technology a progress report setting
forth, in accordance with regulations promulgated by the Commonwealth Office
of Technology, the experience of the agency or political subdivision with
respect to its participation in the system. The Commonwealth Office of
Technology shall receive and process the progress reports, and provide a
summarized overview of the system to the Legislative Research Commission
on or before October 1, 2007, and on or before October 1 of each year
thereafter.
