Emergency Operations & Hazard Mitigation Plan Compliance Update
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Operations Plan is overdue for review—resulting in lost preparedness funding—and the Hazard Mitigation Plan update missed its October 2024 deadline. Gaps in mass notification coverage and absent full-scale exercises leave residents, staff, and elected officials exposed to significant compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
HSGP and EMPG grant funding directly supports EOP and hazard mitigation initiatives, and an upcoming Board meeting creates a near-term decision window. Acting within the current cycle restores compliance standing, recovers preparedness funding eligibility, and strengthens community resilience before the next hazard event.
Mass Notification System Modernization for County Emergency Preparedness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification platform delivers patchy coverage and does not fully meet preparedness requirements, with the Emergency Operations Plan overdue for review and the Hazard Mitigation Plan update past its compliance deadline. These gaps elevate operational and public safety risk for residents and emergency response staff.
The opportunity
The county has signaled a planned mass notification procurement in early 2027, creating a defined and time-bound window to act. Grant programs including HSGP and EMPG are directly aligned to this initiative, reducing local fiscal burden while advancing compliance and community resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-facing website is acknowledged as insufficient and lacking accessibility features, creating legal exposure and barriers to public services. A WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate takes effect January 27, 2026, with no remediation plan currently in place.
The opportunity
The January 2026 deadline creates a defined, near-term window for remediation before legal and reputational risk escalates. Acting within the current fiscal cycle allows the county to align accessibility improvements with available state and federal funding pathways while ensuring equitable public access to digital services.
Fleet Safety Modernization Through Telematics
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A recent deputy vehicle crash and a $21,000 year-over-year rise in insurance costs signal urgent fleet safety gaps in the Sheriff's department. Active vehicle procurement and early telematics proposals for the Road Commission indicate readiness for fleet modernization, but unaddressed risk continues to strain the public safety budget.
The opportunity
Byrne JAG and COPS TEP grant programs are identified fits for fleet safety and telematics initiatives, reducing the local funding burden. Acting within the current budget and grant cycle aligns with active vehicle purchasing plans and can measurably reduce liability exposure and insurance costs.
