Bill > HB1855

This bill directs the Oklahoma Office of Emergency Management to contract with a vendor to create a statewide Stormwater Management Predictive Analytic Solution (SMPAS), a sophisticated technological system designed to improve flood prediction and management. The SMPAS will have advanced capabilities including an early warning detection system, real-time tracking and alerts, and the ability to access, visualize, and forecast relevant stormwater and flood-related data. The system is required to be fully operational by February 28, 2026, and the Office of Emergency Management must submit an annual report to state leadership (the Governor, Speaker of the House, and Senate President Pro Tempore) by March 31, 2026, and each subsequent year, which will summarize the system's information and analyze data trends. The bill will take effect on November 1, 2025, providing a framework for enhancing the state's disaster preparedness and stormwater management capabilities through predictive analytics and improved situational awareness.
