Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Existing mass notification contracts are due for renewal in late 2024, with unclear vendor continuity and no documented after-action findings from a recent major flood—exposing critical gaps in emergency communications. NIMS and HSEEP compliance mandates, combined with an active shortcode requiring integration or replacement decisions, elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Near-term grant deadlines under HSGP and BRIC (July 2026) offer viable funding paths, and cooperative purchasing agreements can accelerate procurement timelines within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now ensures continuity of public alerting capabilities, closes documented preparedness gaps, and aligns with active Hazard Mitigation Plan and Central Dispatch modernization priorities.
Emergency Operations Compliance & Preparedness Gap Remediation
Emergency Management · Compliance & Grant Readiness
High Priority
About this project
The department faces active compliance mandates under NIMS and HSEEP, an overdue EOP review, and undocumented after-action findings from a recent flood event. Gaps in EMPG award documentation and mass-notification continuity elevate both operational and audit risk.
The opportunity
HSGP and BRIC grant deadlines in July 2026 create a near-term, non-discretionary funding window for eligible preparedness initiatives. A potential $6.2M FEMA infrastructure grant may further support or free up local funds, making this an optimal moment to close compliance gaps and strengthen community resilience.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Update & Central Dispatch Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has identified a Hazard Mitigation Plan update and Central Dispatch modernization as high-priority strategic initiatives, representing foundational gaps in emergency management infrastructure. Compliance mandates including NIMS, HSEEP, and EOP review requirements—alongside undocumented mass-notification continuity—elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Grant programs including HSGP and BRIC, alongside a potential FEMA infrastructure award, offer near-term funding pathways with deadlines aligned to the current planning cycle. Acting now positions the county to close critical preparedness gaps, meet compliance mandates, and strengthen emergency response outcomes for residents.
Cybersecurity Hardening and Endpoint Protection
Cybersecurity Compliance · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified critical gaps in its security stack, including the absence of ransomware protection, multi-factor authentication, and backup systems. A 2026 compliance deadline elevates operational and public safety risk if these gaps remain unaddressed.
The opportunity
JAG and COPS Technology and Equipment Program grants with July 2026 deadlines offer directly aligned funding paths for eligible cybersecurity initiatives. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the department to meet compliance requirements and reduce exposure before the deadline.
Website Accessibility & ADA Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The department has identified gaps in WCAG 2.1 website accessibility standards, representing an ongoing federal ADA compliance obligation. Without remediation, public-facing digital services remain inaccessible to residents with disabilities, creating legal exposure and inequitable access to government information.
The opportunity
Proactively addressing accessibility gaps reduces legal risk and aligns with the current web accessibility initiative already underway, making this an efficient use of existing resources. Action within the upcoming fiscal cycle supports compliance continuity and broadens equitable digital access for all residents.
Fleet Telematics Modernization and Safety Compliance
Fleet Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The department maintains an active fleet telematics solution, but ongoing strategic focus on fleet technology and compliance signals a need to evaluate whether current capabilities fully meet operational and regulatory requirements. Contract cycle timing presents a natural inflection point to assess coverage gaps and performance benchmarks.
The opportunity
Upcoming contract cycles and grant programs such as JAG and COPS TEP offer viable funding pathways to modernize fleet safety infrastructure with limited local match. Acting within the current fiscal window allows the department to align procurement with cooperative purchasing vehicles, reducing administrative burden and accelerating deployment.
