Emergency Operations & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces significant emergency preparedness gaps—including an overdue building-wide fire drill, pending communication and biological exercises, and a recent EF1 tornado—while active NIMS/ICS and EOP review mandates remain in force. An existing mass notification contract approaching its renewal window creates a timely decision point for evaluating current capabilities against operational needs.
The opportunity
Multiple FEMA grant programs with 2026 deadlines directly fund emergency management, mass notification, and hazard mitigation initiatives, and potential public safety millage increases may expand local budget capacity. With a new Emergency Preparedness staff member joining in June 2026, acting now ensures continuity, compliance, and readiness ahead of the next contract and fiscal cycle.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Update and Alert System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Monroe County is pursuing a Hazard Mitigation Plan update alongside its Alert Notification System initiative, with a recent EF1 tornado exposing critical gaps in disaster preparedness. Overdue drills, planned communication exercises, and NIMS/ICS compliance mandates elevate operational and regulatory risk for residents and emergency staff.
The opportunity
FEMA's BRIC and HMGP grant programs with 2026 deadlines provide a direct, time-sensitive funding path for hazard mitigation planning and mass notification improvements. Public safety millage measures on the ballot signal potential local funding increases, and alignment with the county's stated strategic priorities makes near-term action both fiscally and operationally sound.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 Level AA and federal ADA compliance across public-facing digital properties, limiting equitable access for residents. Leadership has flagged this as an active priority, and unresolved gaps carry growing legal and accessibility exposure.
The opportunity
A board-level discussion in January 2026 signals an imminent decision cycle, creating urgency to remediate before compliance risk escalates. Addressing accessibility gaps now supports equitable public service delivery and aligns with current fiscal planning windows.
Fleet Asset Tracking and Preventive Maintenance Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A catastrophic fire destroyed multiple fire department vehicles due to mechanical failure, exposing critical gaps in preventive maintenance and asset tracking. The resulting insurance claims and operational disruption underscore the need for structured fleet lifecycle management to ensure continuity of public safety services.
The opportunity
Ongoing road construction activity is increasing fleet utilization demands, making this an urgent window to address asset management gaps before further losses occur. Cooperative purchasing agreements may allow accelerated procurement, and the project aligns with current public safety funding discussions ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
CISA cybersecurity recommendations are applicable but only partially addressed, with credential management tooling and equipment transitions still in progress. A comprehensive technology plan covering communications, online services, data interoperability, and operational continuity is actively under development, creating near-term procurement decisions.
The opportunity
An active technology planning cycle and in-progress tooling discussions signal a structured procurement window aligned with the upcoming fiscal year. Cooperative contract vehicles are available to streamline acquisition, reduce administrative burden, and ensure public funds are stewarded efficiently.
