Hazard Mitigation Plan Update & Emergency Preparedness Gap Closure
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Bastrop County faces a FEMA-mandated Hazard Mitigation Plan update deadline of September 2027, with an active RFP due August 2026, while recurring wildfire and flash-flood exposure strains a preparedness posture reliant on voluntary resident notification enrollment and an undisclosed EOP review status.
The opportunity
The county's approved FY 2026–27 budget includes dedicated Emergency Management increases and active HMGP grant funding for wildfire and flood mitigation, creating a well-funded, time-sensitive window to close preparedness gaps, meet FEMA compliance, and strengthen community resilience before the RFP deadline passes.
Mass Notification System Modernization for Emergency Reach
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification approach depends on voluntary resident registration, significantly limiting reach during wildfires and flash floods. This preparedness gap, combined with undisclosed EOP review status, elevates public safety and FEMA compliance risk ahead of the 2027 Hazard Mitigation Plan deadline.
The opportunity
The county's expanded Emergency Management budget, active Hazard Mitigation Plan procurement cycle, and available HMGP grant funding create an immediate, well-funded window to close notification gaps. Acting now supports FEMA compliance, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with the current fiscal year's approved public safety investments.
Fleet Video Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Business auto insurance premiums have surged 111% since 2019/2020, driven by unverified claims and driver behavior gaps. The county's current fleet management platform lacks integrated video capabilities, creating ongoing liability exposure and escalating costs for taxpayers.
The opportunity
Budget has been approved in FY 2026-27 for fleet solutions, and FTA grants related to transportation coordination offer an additional funding pathway. Acting now reduces insurance liability, strengthens driver accountability, and delivers measurable ROI within the current fiscal cycle.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county faces growing cybersecurity exposure, a newly mandated annual training requirement, and an incumbent credential management solution due for evaluation. Ongoing public safety technology deployments—including Dispatch and RMS—amplify the risk of unmanaged access and undersecured infrastructure.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–27 budget includes dedicated IT spending increases, and the JAG grant offers an eligible funding path for cybersecurity and justice-system improvements. Acting now aligns with the planned Cybersecurity Manager hire and positions the county to reduce compliance risk before the next audit cycle.
