This plan must allow for early refills of prescriptions, ensure road access for medication delivery vehicles, coordinate among pharmaceutical stakeholders, avoid redundant supply chains, and create a safety net system for locating medications. The commissioner, in consultation with relevant boards and agencies, will implement this plan upon a governor's declaration of emergency.
