Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department faces a hard WCAG 2.1 AA compliance deadline of April 24, 2026, with active DOJ and HHS enforcement risk. Gaps in web content and PDF/document accessibility across public-facing digital properties expose the agency to legal liability and limit equitable public access.
The opportunity
The approaching compliance deadline and active budget discussions create a clear window for near-term action. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, enabling a streamlined procurement path that supports responsible stewardship of public funds.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A state mandate requires development of a new Emergency Operations Plan, while 911 leadership turnover and ongoing dispatch staffing shortages compound operational risk. These converging pressures elevate the urgency of formalizing emergency preparedness procedures to protect continuity of public safety services.
The opportunity
Aligned federal grant programs—including HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG—offer strong funding potential for emergency management technology and communication tools, reducing reliance on local budget. Acting within the current cycle addresses a non-discretionary state mandate, mitigates operational risk from staffing gaps, and positions the department for resilient, compliant emergency response.
911 Communications Infrastructure Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Critical 911 server room equipment is nearing end-of-life, and active procurement discussions signal an imminent replacement decision. Recent 911 Director turnover and ongoing dispatch staffing shortages compound operational fragility in a life-safety communications environment.
The opportunity
Active budget discussions and an existing quote indicate this project is in the pre-approval stage, making near-term action feasible. Emergency management grants such as HSGP, BRIC, and EMPG may offset costs, and addressing this now reduces continuity risk ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A fragmented mass notification ecosystem leaves gaps in reliably alerting staff and residents during emergencies. This risk is compounded by 911 staffing shortages and recent leadership turnover, undermining coordinated emergency response.
The opportunity
Federal emergency management grants (HSGP, BRIC, EMPG) are actively aligned with communication and preparedness technology investments, reducing local funding burden. Consolidating notification capabilities now supports the state-mandated EOP cycle and strengthens operational continuity.
Securing Identity and Endpoints During M365 Migration
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active Microsoft 365 migration is expanding the department's cloud attack surface, introducing new identity and device management vulnerabilities. Existing security investments do not fully address credential-based threats and endpoint visibility gaps that emerge during cloud transitions.
The opportunity
The migration window is a time-sensitive opportunity to layer in identity and endpoint protections before new risks become incidents. Cooperative purchasing agreements are in place, supporting faster procurement and alignment with current IT budget cycles.
