Countywide Emergency Preparedness & Continuity Planning
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps — including unverified EOP review status, no formal mass notification continuity plan, and absent HSEEP-style exercise documentation — compounded by recent severe weather declarations. NIMS compliance and FEMA hazard mitigation plan mandates elevate the urgency to address these gaps before the next incident or audit cycle.
The opportunity
The October 2025 appointment of a full-time Emergency Management Director, combined with the 911 surcharge renewal (~$970K annually) and active pursuit of public safety grants (HSGP, BRIC), creates strong budget alignment and leadership momentum. Acting within the current fiscal window positions the county to meet compliance mandates, close preparedness gaps, and protect residents through a funded, coordinated countywide plan.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification setup operates as a fragmented ecosystem with no formal continuity plan, creating alerting gaps that put residents and staff at risk during emergencies. Combined with an unconfirmed EOP review status and no documented exercises, the county faces compounding compliance exposure under NIMS and FEMA hazard mitigation mandates.
The opportunity
A newly appointed Emergency Management Director and a countywide evacuation and safety planning initiative signal strong leadership momentum to close preparedness gaps now. Active pursuit of public safety grants—including HSGP and BRIC—alongside a renewed 911 surcharge and confirmed cooperative purchasing agreements provide clear, near-term funding and procurement pathways.

Fleet Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The county's Emergency Management fleet includes an aging vehicle with documented mechanical issues and a recorded near-miss incident, while dash cam and telematics coverage remain largely absent countywide. These gaps limit driver safety oversight, complicate incident reconstruction, and elevate operational and liability risk for public safety personnel.
The opportunity
Multiple grant programs with near-term deadlines—including those aligned with fleet safety and telematics equipment—offer clear, time-sensitive funding paths with cooperative purchasing options available to simplify procurement. Acting within the current budget cycle positions the county to reduce safety risk, strengthen accountability, and maximize eligible funding before windows close.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified gaps in website accessibility tied to WCAG and ADA compliance standards, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable public access to digital services. Without remediation, these gaps pose ongoing risk to constituent service delivery and regulatory standing.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility requirements now reduces legal liability and aligns with the county's active digital modernization trajectory ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle. Remediation efforts may be eligible for state or federal funding and support broader equitable access goals for residents.

IT Security · Financial Accountability
High Priority
About this project
A state-requested corrective action plan stemming from financial audit inconsistencies signals high urgency around accountability and internal controls. Gaps in identity and credential security within the county's existing cloud environment elevate risk to public data and fiscal integrity.
The opportunity
The corrective action mandate creates a compliance-driven timeline, and Q4 preliminary budget activity presents a timely window to prioritize remediation funding. Addressing these controls now reduces audit exposure, supports stewardship of public funds, and may qualify for dedicated state or federal remediation resources.
