Close NIMS Compliance and Emergency Preparedness Gaps
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
No NIMS plan or supporting technology is currently in place, and EOP review and HSEEP-style exercise programs remain incomplete. Recent declared emergencies—including flooding and tornadoes—underscore the operational and compliance risk this gap poses to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP funding offers a direct grant path for emergency preparedness investments, and $7.5 million in ARPA funds must be obligated by mid-2026. Acting within this fiscal window closes compliance mandates, strengthens disaster response capacity, and maximizes available public funding.

Emergency Management · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
No documented HSEEP-style exercise program currently exists, creating a direct gap against federal compliance mandates for NIMS and emergency preparedness. Recent local emergency declarations for flooding and tornadoes underscore the operational and public safety risk of this unaddressed requirement.
The opportunity
FEMA HSGP grant eligibility and the ARPA spending deadline of year-end 2026 create a defined, time-sensitive funding window. Acting now enables compliance alignment, strengthens community resilience, and maximizes available public funds before the deadline closes.

Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A federal mandate requires public-facing digital properties to meet WCAG/ADA accessibility standards by April 24, 2026. Existing web infrastructure may require remediation or replacement, posing compliance and equity risks for residents who depend on accessible government services.
The opportunity
The April 2026 deadline creates immediate procurement urgency, and active ARPA spending windows through 2026 may support budget allocation for eligible digital infrastructure improvements. Acting now ensures compliance, reduces legal exposure, and expands equitable access to public services.
Strengthen Cybersecurity Posture and IT Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Existing IT dependencies and an active managed services relationship signal a foundational infrastructure in place, but layered identity security and remote management controls remain unaddressed. Without documented safeguards, the organization faces elevated risk of unauthorized access, service disruption, and potential compliance exposure.
The opportunity
The JAG grant provides a direct funding path for cybersecurity-relevant tooling, and the ARPA year-end 2026 spending deadline creates a near-term window for eligible technology investments. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the organization to close security gaps while maximizing available public funding.
