Modernize Emergency Alerting & Unify EOC Operations
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city operates with an unverified Emergency Operations Guide and a community alerting system that excludes weather alerts and has documented bulk text delivery failures. Recent severe flooding required FEMA assistance, and unresolved preparedness gaps—alongside FEMA IPAWS testing and Tennessee EM framework mandates—elevate both compliance and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Existing public safety tech investment exceeds $123,000 annually, signaling budget alignment, and cooperative purchasing vehicles are already in use to streamline procurement. Addressing alerting fragmentation and EOP verification now positions the city ahead of Tennessee HSGP/EMPG funding cycles and reduces exposure from the next severe weather event.

Digital Accessibility · Civic Technology
High Priority
About this project
The city has active WCAG 2.0 A/AA compliance obligations across public-facing digital properties, with identified gaps in document and portal accessibility. Ongoing website modernization and mobile civic app initiatives increase the urgency of closing these gaps to ensure equitable access for all residents.
The opportunity
With website modernization and digital services already named as strategic priorities, the current fiscal cycle presents a timely window to address accessibility compliance and reduce legal and operational risk. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and accelerate delivery of accessible, resident-facing digital services.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
The city operates separate 911/311 systems and a standalone community alerting platform, creating fragmented public safety communications with documented gaps in weather alerting and bulk notification reliability. FEMA IPAWS compliance requirements and the Tennessee emergency management framework elevate the operational and regulatory risk of maintaining disconnected systems.
The opportunity
Active strategic priorities—including a unified dispatch initiative and a community alerting mobile app—signal leadership readiness to act within the current planning cycle. Cooperative purchasing pathways and existing public safety capital spending provide viable procurement and funding routes to advance integration without delay.
