Arizona 2-1-1 To Be Managed Alongside State Web Portal
Governor Napolitano’s Council on 2-1-1 recently voted to change management of
Arizona 2-1-1 to the Government
Information Technology Agency to enable Arizona 2-1-1 Online to be managed with
the State of Arizona Web Portal, www.AZ.gov.
This new management structure will go into effect January 7, 2008.
“AZ.gov and Arizona 2-1-1 Online serve the public in a similar manner,” said
State CIO Chris Cummiskey. “By leveraging the resources of AZ.gov, the State
will greatly increase citizen access to the Arizona 2-1-1’s database of
statewide health, human service and emergency response information.”
The management transition of Arizona 2-1-1 will be seamless to the users of the
system. The change is anticipated to provide significant benefits and
efficiencies including the ability, over time, to expand the functionality of
2-1-1 utilizing the applications and tools available under the Portal contract.
The Portal contract also will allow AZ 2-1-1 to take advantage of strategic
partnerships, such as the State's partnership with Google.
In addition, the Arizona Division of Emergency Management (ADEM) will continue
to manage the AZ 2-1-1 Emergency Bulletin System.
