Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department lacks a verifiable Emergency Operations Plan, has an incomplete mutual aid agreement, and no documented cyber incident response protocol — gaps that conflict with Texas Government Code §418.106 and NIMS compliance mandates. Without a dedicated mass notification platform, the ability to alert and coordinate during complex emergencies remains limited and fragmented.
The opportunity
Active FY2026/2027 budget planning and multiple aligned grant programs — including opportunities accessible via subaward — create a timely funding pathway with no incumbent to displace. Addressing these gaps now reduces regulatory exposure, strengthens community resilience, and positions the department for compliant, coordinated emergency response.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Emergency Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates multiple emergency vehicles staffed by volunteers with no telematics, dash cameras, GPS tracking, vehicle inspection tools, or driver-behavior monitoring in place. Documented gaps in incident evidence and fleet-governance visibility elevate operational and liability risk across active emergency response operations.
The opportunity
Active FY2026/2027 budget planning, a confirmed $265,000 grant for a new brush truck, and consensus around a Vac truck purchase create immediate procurement windows. A cooperative purchasing vehicle is already identified, enabling a streamlined, compliant path to close fleet safety gaps and strengthen public safety outcomes this fiscal cycle.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Assessment and Data Protection Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The 2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan identified critical short-term actions — baseline cybersecurity assessment, data backup documentation, and incident response protocol — none of which are currently in place, leaving public systems and data exposed to operational and recovery risk.
The opportunity
FY2026/2027 budget planning includes allocation potential for these initiatives, and HSGP and EMPG funding may be accessible via subawards to offset costs. Acting within the current planning cycle positions the organization to close compliance gaps and strengthen resilience before the next fiscal commitment window closes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces a DOJ Title II WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate requiring accessible public-facing digital portals. Current reliance on fragmented tools such as ad hoc forms platforms indicates a non-compliant, disjointed digital workflow environment that elevates legal and operational risk.
The opportunity
The DOJ Title II mandate creates a non-discretionary compliance deadline with direct legal exposure for inaction. Consolidating digital forms and document workflows into an accessible, unified platform aligns with FY planning cycles and supports equitable public access to government services.
Credential & Access Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
No password security or credential management framework is currently in place, leaving public systems and sensitive data exposed to unauthorized access. The 2024 Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies a baseline cybersecurity assessment, incident response protocol, and data backup documentation as near-term action items, signaling a recognized and unaddressed operational gap.
The opportunity
Active FY2026/2027 budget planning creates a timely window to fund credential and access management as part of a broader cybersecurity modernization effort. State and federal grant programs aligned with hazard mitigation and public safety infrastructure may offset costs, and no incumbent solution exists, enabling a clean, efficient implementation.
