Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department's EOP status is unknown, creating a critical preparedness gap compounded by a structural budget deficit affecting EMS operations. NIMS compliance mandates require a formalized emergency operations framework, elevating both operational and regulatory risk for the community served.
The opportunity
Active FEMA emergency management grant pathways and a recent statewide fire department grant increase present viable funding options aligned with the current budget cycle. Formalizing the EOP now addresses compliance mandates, strengthens countywide emergency coordination, and reduces risk to residents and first responders.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current mass notification system is outdated with no confirmed vendor, undermining reliable outreach to residents and staff during emergencies. NIMS compliance mandates, unknown EOP status, and existing E911/EOC infrastructure gaps elevate operational and public safety risk countywide.
The opportunity
A statewide fire department grant increase and FEMA emergency management funding paths offer viable budget routes with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle advances NIMS compliance, strengthens EOC coordination, and ensures residents and first responders receive timely, reliable emergency alerts.

Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The department's public-facing website requires a comprehensive overhaul, with document accessibility identified as a gap in serving all community members equitably. Without action, the site risks falling short of accessibility standards, limiting public access to critical information and services.
The opportunity
As a confirmed strategic initiative, this project is positioned for advancement within the upcoming fiscal planning cycle, with accessibility improvements potentially eligible for state digital equity or modernization funding. Addressing it now supports equitable public service delivery and reduces long-term compliance exposure.
