Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Marshall County faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including a vacant EMA Director position responsible for EOP development, coordination, and grant management, with the EOP's age and review status unknown. NIMS adoption is federally mandated for grant eligibility, and the status of existing mass-notification services remains unresolved, elevating both compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
The FY 2025–2026 budget includes active appropriations for technology and data processing, and the county is on the notice of intent to award list for a statewide fire department grant, alongside a $160,000 Infrastructure Planning Grant. Addressing preparedness gaps now aligns with open procurement windows, preserves federal funding eligibility, and reduces leadership transition risk.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Chapel Hill relies on Marshall County's mass notification system, but contract details and integration status remain unverified, leaving critical gaps in unified alerting and EOC coordination. A vacant EMA Director position and unknown EOP review status compound compliance risk, particularly around NIMS adoption requirements tied to federal grant eligibility.
The opportunity
The FY 2025–2026 budget cycle, recent fire department leadership transition, and active public safety grant activity create a favorable window to address consolidation and close preparedness gaps. Acting now supports NIMS compliance, strengthens interoperability, and positions the county to protect federal funding streams.

Discuss this project →Emergency Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The department operates a multi-vehicle emergency fleet with no confirmed telematics or dash cam solution in place, creating a gap in driver behavior monitoring, incident documentation, and fleet safety oversight. A budgeted fire engine chassis replacement is underway, compounding the need for integrated fleet visibility before new assets are deployed.
The opportunity
The department's participation in the 2026 Volunteer Firefighter Equipment and Training Grant program and an active chassis replacement create a natural, time-aligned entry point for fleet technology adoption. Incoming leadership transitions also present a timely opportunity to establish safety standards and protect both personnel and public assets.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Title II Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
ADA Title II mandates accessible digital services for the public, yet no accessibility plan is currently in place. Without a structured remediation roadmap, public-facing portals and digital touchpoints remain non-compliant, exposing the entity to federal enforcement risk ahead of the 2028 deadline.
The opportunity
The 2028 federal compliance deadline creates a defined planning horizon, making a phased remediation approach both practical and fiscally manageable within upcoming budget cycles. Acting now reduces last-minute compliance risk and ensures equitable digital access for all residents.
